Episode 4: ‘Pencil Whipping’- Does it happen? Should you be concerned?

The Good the Bad and the Ugly: The Aviation Maintenance Industry - Raw!

A little off the next scheduled episode topic but an interesting episode which I speak about ‘Paper whipping’ in the aviation maintenance industry- It does happen. Why should the average Joe be concerned? Why should you, the mechanic be concerned?

In this episode I break it down giving some of the most common examples of paper whipping. Sure I might catch some flak from aircraft mechanics for ‘blaming them’ which is fair BUT if you aren’t “that guy then why worry?” I also discuss the pressures that mechanics face which might cause them to ‘pencil whip’ paperwork.

**Some quick clarification on circuit breakers: Not only do they protect the wiring but also provide protection from over current or over load of the circuit. If too much current flows through the circuit, the conductor heats up and expands popping the the CB**

As always, thank you for tuning in!
