Had that one week where three planes showed up with the SAME broken bracket
Last Tuesday I got a Cessna 172 with a cracked engine mount bracket, no big deal, swapped it out in about 4 hours. Then Wednesday another 172 rolls in with the EXACT same crack in the same spot on the mount. I'm thinking okay, coincidence. Then Thursday a third one comes in from the same flight school with the same issue. I called the school and found out they all had a hard landing on the same runway last month but nobody wrote it up. Anyone else ever see a pattern like this where no one reported something obvious?

Three days in a row though? At that point the plane is basically telling you it wants to be a permanent resident in the shop.

Genuinely curious, what keeps breaking on it that they can't get sorted in a single day? I've seen planes sit for weeks waiting on a single part, but three days straight in the shop for different issues sounds like something systemic.
