Funny Sqauwks You've Seen Or Written

[ARFlyer]

Our new mechanic had a good laugh this morning at a few squawks I had on the flight board.

"Aircraft Cabin Quite Cold at Altitude. On Post Flight Inspection I noticed that the cabin air vent tubes were missing"

Apparently BOTH orange vent tubes in the cowling broke off at the fiberglass attachment point and were hanging partially out of the cowl.

"Attitude Indicator will only become erect after beating it. Best location is the top of panel"

His reply "Could not make Attitude Indicator erect. Removed and Replaced. Also consulted with Wife"

Saw this in the Squawk book

"Engine dies after a few blades on startup"

His reply "Turning the fuel on will help"

Have any of you written or have personally seen funny squawks? Please DON'T include ones that are already floating around the internet.

Squawk: "Doors on 172 do not close unless you slam them"
Response: "It's a Cessna"

Sounds a lot like Piper doors also. Our Maule doors, especially the rear door, like to pop open in flight. I've learned to keep my stuff on the floor.

I've seen one Cessna 172, EVER, that the doors would close without slamming. It was about 35 years old and the owner bought it new and maintained it meticulously. He must have told me at least 5 times before we got to the airplane not to slam the door.

Kent reminded me that several times after I slammed the Mooney's door.
