I know every airline has its small percentage of morons but I just saw this and had to share. It's from a logbook entry on a MD80 at AA:

writeup: A/C 4WM date: 10/04 FLT:1519
"While setting Transponder codes discovered transponder unable to accept any code ending in an "8" or "9".
signed: DFW Capt. T.P C***** #@@@@@
Maint. Sign off: Replaced transponder control panel per M.M.-ops checked normal.
Mech#@@@@@

It is quite apparent that this crack DFW crew saved the day by "discovering" that the transponder could not accept any codes that have an 8 or 9.
Kudos for the DEN maint. crew who replaced the faulty transponder control panel, and ops checked the new one normal. I assume they made sure that 8 and 9 were usable.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I saw one in a C208 "X-ponder INOP in SBY position."

At least M/X responded "ops check normal." :)
 
A reliable (not an anti-AA bomb-thrower) friend picked up this plane on a crew change and copied the writeup verbatum.TC
 
Captain Write up: #1 ADF inoperative.

Maintanence: -Moved switch from ANT position. Op's check OK.

Saw this about 2 weeks ago.
 
They have them, you just can't dial them in. National security or something like that.

Couldn't find it on the KVA entry in DECs.
