Burnt out nav light on Christmas Eve

[a-v-8er]

How would you answer this question to an interviewer and why?

We don't have holidays in avation. So it's just like any other day at work.

For the interview... You would postpone the flight until it could be fixed or is no longer required.

Real world, it broke on the way home...

Another one of those incredibly stupid interview questions, but yea, I'd definetly go with the response Falcon Capt. gave.

Another option, if its aircraft specific....the CRJ (I think) has two nav lights per side. So if one was burnt out you could still go (provided the MEL and all that stuff said it was ok).

Is Rudolph's nose available? (only applies if red nav light out)

 

[whiskytangofoxt]

where is the car parked?

 

[kevdog]

Tell the mechanic to change it...

5 min fix...otherwise Christmas is canceled.

Defer the light per the MEL and amend the release. Then slap the FO for finding the burned out light and telling you when the CVR is on.

Aint that the truth!!

If it aint going to kill me, I don't want to know about it!! At least that's the attitude of my former employer.
