New Aircraft maintenance
Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints by Qantas pilots and the corrective action recorded by mechanics.By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

P stands for the Problem the pilots entered in the log and
S stands for the Corrective Action taken by the mechanics.

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto land very rough.
S: Auto land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on backorder.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200-fpm descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for!

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windscreen.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing. (note: this was for a piston-engine airplane; the pilot meant the engine was not running smoothly)
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

New Qantas, eh?
Last time this one landed in my inbox a few years ago, it was attributed to USAF pilots.

Still, the content is funny regardless...

New It was an Air Force joke
Civilian airlines don't use IFF (Identify Friend/Foe) yet. That's purely military equipment.

New Re: are you sure
It probably does stand for Solution. I just did a "cut and paste" from an email from my daughter.

It was interesting to me that she only sent that email to her brother, her father-in-law and me and not her mother or her sister (an engineer). Is that sexist? :)

New Found out from the horse's mouth.
The email was originally to be sent to my son only. He's an engineer, flies model airplanes, and often emails jokes. My daughter's husband told her to also email it to his father, a retired bureaucrat, who would appreciate the joke from that angle. I was added for "equal time".
