There isn't any stigma as far as I'm aware, just a desire for a two-way level of respect for our profession. 'I'm well aware of the stigma between pilots and Engineers since I used to work on the maintenance side.' A quick Google will also take you to the Dunlop tech support website. Was it covered in the technical part of your type training or the Technical exams of your CPL? For further info, go to the CAA website and search for Airworthiness Notice 5 (AN 05) and /or ask the engineers if you could look at the AMM for your own education. 'Also, to give an example of another problem, what is the limit of main wheel wear?'Д«it more of a worry this as you are doing the walkround inspection and signing for the serviceability of the aircraft including the tyres. 'As for the MEL there is no mention of oxygen masks for flight deck.' Ask yourself this - 'After all these years, why hasn't any pilot (Chief Pilot, Technical Pilot, Flight Safety Officer, CAA Flight Standards Inspector, etc.) taken up this cause before me?'

If ALL your colleagues were given the same instruction when doing their CPL at all the different training schools as that is what is in the JAR-FCL (or whatever reg it is now) curriculum and exams then there may be something to be looked into but I seriously doubt this. That may have been one instructor's opinion at one training school. Your trainer gave you duff gen I'm afraid. 'During training we were informed this was the proper check to be carried out on the first flight of the day.' But in my new company things are totally diffrent and I feel it is a shame that I should need to come on here to get an Engineers opinion on the aircraft and systems I use everyday. Which I felt was always appreciated by them.

And in previous companies have always made the effort to go to the hanger to learn about the aircraft when it was down and to understand the systems better and also get the opinions of the staff. I'm well aware of the stigma between pilots and Engineers since I used to work on the maintenance side.

I would love to be able to get my hands on the maintenance manuals to learn some more about the aircraft myself and in greater detail, but such ideas are not welcomed here. As for the MEL there is no mention of oxygen masks for flight deck.ДЄlso, to give an example of another problem, what is the limit of main wheel wear? Our pilots manuals do not cover this. In the cockpit preperation checklist, it only tells us to check that the mask is stowed and that there is sufficient oxygen for flight. Our Fcom only describes the funtions of the various butons etc It does not mention in detail the test of the system. By squezing the red tabs and pressing the test button simultaniously the harness function can be checked without removing the mask.Дuring training we were informed this was the proper check to be carried out on the first flight of the day. But the part I have come into disagreement with is the in box test of the harness self inflation. I am aware of the push button for the flow test. I asked on here because I wanted to give them an opinion from another engineer. I would suggest you speak to somebody in your maintenance planning team to take you through the AMP and AMM to put your concerns to rest. Pulling the thing out of its stowage every day and having to get an engineer to repack it the correct way will probably cause more damage than good and a waste of time and money. Does it need testing every day, in my opinion, no, what could go wrong with it on a day to day basis, packed away in its stowage? The AMP will call for the required inspections and tests at the appropriate time to maintain serviceability. Is the quick donning function important - yes, otherwise why would we have it.

How to carry out the tests and inspections is detailed in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.Д¬ould a damaged mask or harness be deferred - I doubt it as it is safety equipment but if you have read the MEL, what does it say? Many 'experts' are involved in writing the MPD looking at failure modes, whether the failure would be evident, impact of the failure, etc., then decide on what inspections / tests should be carried out and how often to ensure continued serviceability of the system.

The AMP is derived from the Maintenance Planning Document published by the aircraft manufacturer and approved by the NAA in the country of manufacture. In my experience, for boxed quick-don masks, pre-flight test is to hit the test button and ensure the flow indicator shows oxygen flow.ДЄ general visual inspection of the removed mask and inflatable harness, operation of the quick don harness, operation of mask mic and cleaning of the mask and stowage is carried out on scheduled maintenance at a period specified in the Aircraft Maintenance Program. What does your Chief Pilot / Flight Technical Manager say on the subject?

What does it tell you to do in your Ops Manual or equivalent?
