November 2012 - Indian Airforce

search for the missing thing. We don’t even know
what it looks like.
A team of five was deployed to search for that
‘something’ which had rolled away. The morning
fog meanwhile reduced the visibility. The EO & WO
removed the component, checked it, rectified it
and serviced it. Now it was ready to be fitted back.
EO: Let us reflect it as a snag in the Form 700
and in the snag register.
WO: Nahi sir, then people will come to know
that we removed the component.
EO: Let’s tell him to buy more time for us to offer the
aircraft.
WO: Sahab, galti unki hai, kyon beech me aaya, let him
only buy more time.
EO calls up Flt Cdr.
EO to Flt Cdr: Sir, the snag is rectified, but we need more
time.
(On Phone)
Flt Cdr: I will get back to you.
EO:
So what?
After sometime:
WO: Part to mila nahi na. (The part was never
found, isn’t it?)
EO:
We will get it.
WO: Time nahi hai sir. Tab se log uchchal rahe
hain. Bina ye chhota part bhi kam chal jayega.
EO: WO Sahab! Agar us part ka koi purpose nahi
to wo part hota kyon?
WO: Theek hai sahab, aap jaise kahenge hum
vaise karenge.
EO: Theek hai, abhi pehle fit karke dekhte hain ki
theek ho gaya ya nahin.
Component was fitted, checked and found ‘S’
on ground.
WO:
Sir, Kaam to ho gaya na?
EO: Yeah! Snag is solved, but let’s find the
missing part. Get the exploded view of the
assembly, then we can find out what the missing
part looks like.
WO: Sir, let’s tell the Flt Cdr that the snag is
rectified. Mere hisab se kaam khatam ho gaya hai.
Flt Cdr to EO:
(On Phone)
CO pooch rahe hain: Aur kitna time lagega?
EO: Sir, Jab missing item mil jayega tab bata sakte hain ki
kitna time lagega. I will keep you informed (On Phone).
EO to WO: Phir poochch rahe hain, ‘aur kitna time
lagega’! **+&$*#@%&>
