I understand what your saying TT. but when I was away, both myself and the Charlie Papa Lima I was working with were unwilling to make a Chinook Captain switch off his engines and sign the aircraft back in in the middle of the op just so we could do a gun change (as per the AP).
Sometimes, you just have to assess what's going on around you and go with it.
However, inexperienced personnel should never be put in that situation.
Intersting point. I'd want an EngO to put his name to a line on the jobcard to permit me to do that. No top cover for me then sorry ol' buddy, shut down and get out and don't blame me, blame the clown that wrote the book.
I say again, without the top cover, if it goes wrong, will the chain of command support you? I think we all know the answer to that.
