The Importance of CLEAR Communication!!!

[Mr. Bill]

You are the chief aircraft washer at the company hangar and you:
1) Hook high pressure hose up to the soap suds machine.
2) Turn the machine "on".
3) Receive an important call and have to leave work to go home.
4) As you depart for home, you yell to Don, your assistant, "Don, turn it off!"
5) Assistant Don thinks he hears, "Don't turn it off!"
He shrugs, and leaves the area right after you.
6) The results of unclear communication were a disaster.

As with any occupation, make sure personnel have a clear understanding of what you are communicating! This actually happened! Now see the picture of the consequences:

Reminds me of my days...long ago...as a firefighter. When riding shotgun, you never tell the driver/engineer to "go" or "no" in reponse to whether or not an intersection/cross road is clear. The two words sound alike, especially over the droan of a deisel engine and siren.

The responce is "clear" or "not clear." To this day, I still use these terms, even in the relative quiet of a modern insulated motor vehicle.

Who's gonna open the hangar doors?!?!?!?!

[TOOLman]

Cool! You'll need a pilot certified for instrument flying just to get the aircraft out of the hangar!

Do those guys still have their jobs?

Wow!!
I hope the doors were closed over the weekend.
In the military the following must be entered into the log of any helicopter:
Aircraft flow in blowing grass
Aircraft exposed to saltwater
Aircraft exposed to blowing sand
Aircraft flown in rain
Aircraft exposed to radiation

I guess in that situation you'd have to say aircraft was exposed to Mr Bubble.
But they look like clouds..I love clouds.
