Re: The 6-million-dollar documentation mistake

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

What I'm wondering is, was this an omission by the engine
manufacturer's civilian doc producers, or were the mechanics
working to USAF-produced field procedures?  During
my time in the aircraft industry it was commonplace for
maintenance units to produce their own procedures and
checklists because the desk-jockey JAFO's couldn't 
*possibly* understand how things were done in "the field."

"Investigators concluded that, while Air Force guides correctly
instructed Raptor mechanics to install the landing gear pins before
performing maintenance on the airplanes, there were no similar
step-by-step instructions to ensure mechanics remember to take the
pins out prior to clearing the aircraft for use. "
