Maybe I was not clear on my point.
I'm sure it was reported by Gulfstream, just seems the local Fed group might not be reporting it higher up the food chain. Fewer reported problems, fewer inspectors from Okie City.
And, I have to wonder about the nose wheel. Sure, sometimes bearings shatter from sudden overload, but a wheel bearing that is properly inspected and lubricated should never sieze and fall off the axle.
Normally, that is just bad maintenance, pure and simple.

In no way am I blaming the crew, I doubt the best prefight in the world would have caught it. Same with the issue you had last week. Kudo's to you for working it out. But, how long before the tail gets rigged wrong, or the spar crack (ala Chalks) just gets overlooked??

Yeah, I see your point. As a representitive of my company, all I can say is that I hope we take the right direction towards proper maintenence of our fleet. And, that our technicians remain vigilant to solving mechanical problems.

This allowed the nosewheel to come clean off the strut and hit the prop. The prop didn't like that, so it bent.

:laugh:

You will know someday soon. It will be a day of BMP-3's and MI-8's. Your grounds will be littered with casings from 7.62mm bullets!

I have no idea, what that means, and really don't even care. But keep posting all over the forum so that avatar stays up.
