Initial thought was if @RooflessVW tool storage and accountability system might have reduced the risk of this event- not sure as I suspect the tech knew the tool was lost, but couldn't locate it- but not sure.
I don't know how big the "compressor turning tool" is for the A380's engine, but it feels like it should have been hard to miss...
I have both, and you're absolutely right.Please keep in mind I have no major airline or Part 121 experience.
Not all missing tools go reported due to fear of retribution.
compressor turning tool was found behind the fan blades of the number 1 engine, which is the first engine mounted on the left-side wing.I can't read MSN.
What tool was it???
It varies. I field dozens of calls and twice as many texts and emails each day but when I'm on-wing I silence my phone with an automated away message.Isn't it always a 10mm socket? *jking*
Serious question. Are technicians allowed to bring their phones onto the floor?
