ACR CAPT COMPLAINS ABOUT FAA INSPECTOR'S RAMP CHKS AT SMF.

Narrative

ON 2 OCCASIONS; AN FAA INSPECTOR AT SMF LOOKED AT OUR ACFT DURING TURN AROUND FLTS. ON JUN/THU/92 HE TOLD ME -- AND I WENT TO LOOK WITH HIM -- THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT A PITOT TUBE WAS STARTING TO PIT -- I COULD SEE NO EVIDENCE OF THIS; BUT TOLD HIM I WOULD HAVE MAINT STAFF IN LAX CHK IT ON ARR -- THIS WAS DONE -- THEY SAW NOTHING OF CONCERN. 12 DAYS LATER; THE SAME ACI WALKED AROUND OUR ACFT AND SAID A STATIC WICK WAS MISSING FROM OUR L HORIZ STABILIZER. SINCE WE WERE BOARDING PAX FOR DEP; WE CHKED THE MEL/CDL FOR THE ACFT AND FOUND NOT ONLY DID WE NOT NEED THAT ONE; BUT THE ACFT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY WICKS UNLESS OPERATING HF OR LORAN (WE DON'T HAVE EITHER ON BOARD). AGAIN; I TOLD HIM I WOULD WRITE IT UP FOR MAINT IN LAX. WHEN WE ARRIVED IN LAX; I MADE AN ENTRY IN THE LOG -- MAINT WAS TAKING CARE OF IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS ACI IS WRITING US UP FOR DEPARTING WITH DISCREPANCIES. WE HAD NO GNDING DISCREPANCIES AND NOTHING WAS IN THE LOGBOOK UNTIL ARR IN LAX. THIS PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL IS WELL-KNOWN BY ALL OPS OF ALL CARRIERS TO BE A TROUBLE MAKER. HE SEEMS TO TAKE PERSONNEL DELIGHT IN TRYING TO GND OR DELAY FLTS BY MAJOR CARRIERS. HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED OR RETRAINED.
