Cat in the cockpit grounds Toronto-bound airplane
An Air Canada flight was grounded for several hours Wednesday morning after a cat got loose in the airplane and hid in the cockpit. File this under "weird or what!". (www.thestar.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
lol...kind of pain if you had a business meeting to attend at a certain time but otherwise I think it's funny!
R U sure it was a four legged cat , and not two cats, 2 legged ones ! ;-) ;-p
LOL, I saw this on the news yesterday. Couldn't help but picture a steaming mad captain standing by while the lady calls her cat for 3 hours.
Being a Mechanic and knowing that Cockpit in and out and upside down for nooks and crannies, I can see this chase for the scared cat for a while. He could easily have gotten himself down inside the Belly Avionics bay and I cannot imagine trying to get him out of there... I take it the cat is not getting many frequent flyer miles :)
We have four dachshunds and all of em togther don't smell like any cat. Never mind fur balls and the odd urea puddle. There was a time when roaches used to walz over the odd terminal...haha.
Hmm... Just read the full article and it states: “there was no real damage done.” which makes me ask... If there was no real damage done. then what damage was done. I would guess working Maint Control I would see a sign off such as:
"Removed Panels as required, Found and Remove cat from a/c, Inspected a/c for damage IAW AMM 05-50-00. Reinstalled removed panels. A/C ok for service"
For Non Maintenance Personnel IAW - In Accordance With, AMM - Aircraft Maintenance Manual. 05-50-00 is the code for Unscheduled inspections.
I am sure the maintenance personnel enjoyed this one.
