You might also have trouble RIGGING some gliders if the water ballast
actuation system is locked in one position.
A simple placard isn't enough?
We have placards for all the vital speeds, weight and balance but a
simple placard saying water ballast inoperative isn't enough?
Instead we have to remove seat pans and involve Form 2 inspectors
adding to the possible hazards of the whole operation as it is always
possible to make errors during maintenance.
Insanity prevails.
Jim Staniforth must be rolling his eyes at this nonsense compared to
the simplicity of going gliding in the USA.
