I think now that these are becoming hot news, we should get some context. I.e. is this a somewhat routine occurrence that gets found and addressed? It seems unlikely that anyone builds absolutely perfect airplanes, which is why we have so many checklists and inspections, in addition to designs that are tolerant of faults. My monkey brain would like to know what normal looks like, before it gets all spun up...
- dylan604 3y agoThere's a comment from people that do not like sky diving along the lines of "why would I jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" The typical response from pilots or mechanics is "there's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane".
