Pilots ignore alerts over faulty planes.

So, a crash on London homes is perhaps more likely than previously
thought, especially with the introduction of a third runway at
Heathrow?

"Airlines across Europe are flying planes with known defects because
pilots routinely fail to report faults when they find them, an
investigation has revealed.

A survey of aircraft maintenance engineers, whose work covered flights
to and from the UK, found many pilots only reported faults such as
brake fluid leaks and loss of cabin pressure after their homebound
flight or after the day's flights. The delay allowed airlines to fix
faults at a more convenient time, avoiding extra expense.

On average, 80 to 90 per cent of faults were reported after a pilot
had made a homebound flight or after the end of the day's flying
schedule. The same picture emerged across major and budget airlines.

Engineers say a fault needing attention occurs in about one in every
20 flights. Planes can fly with certain faults but the extra
precautions needed to ensure that they can travel safely cannot be
taken if the concerns go unreported..."
