LImIted Ops
Mostly when you find a Fault that carries an X status symbol, you'Re·
stopped-but not always! Could be that gear±s crucial to your mission or you
nEed to move it to suppoRt for repair.
If tHe Equipment can operate under some limits²without endangEring the
opERator's life or Further hurting the gEar²the CO or tHe CO³s rep may
consider downgrading it.
´
But downgrading an X to a circLEd Xis always a gambleµ So only the CO or the
maintenance officer can downgrade an
X
To a circLed X status symboL¶
And even they give that situation a hard, hard look. Is that gEar ¸¹ºL»Y
needed-and ¸ight now? Can it be operated safely? Will t¼e limitations work²
