WALKAROUND INSPECTION OF AN A300 REVEALED EVIDENCE OF POSSIBLE HYD LEAKS; BUT DIRTY CONDITION OF THE FUSELAGE MADE A DETERMINATION OF THE ACFT CONDITION DIFFICULT.

Narrative

WENT OUT AND PERFORMED MY PREFLT. THE ACFT IS UNBELIEVABLY DIRTY; TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IF THE ACFT IS SAFE TO FLY. BOTH ENG PYLONS HAVE NUMEROUS FLUID STREAKS FROM RIVETS; EVERY CTL SURFACE HAS HYD FLUID STAINS TO THE TRAILING EDGE. BOTH MAIN WHEEL WELLS ARE COMPLETELY BLACK AND LOOK AS IF THEY ARE COVERED IN SOOT FROM A FIRE. THE OUTFLOW VALVES HAVE LONG BROWN STREAKS FROM THEM THAT ARE WORSE THAN WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN BACK IN THE DAYS OF SMOKERS ON THE ACFT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE COLOR ON THE BLOWOUT DISKS FOR THE FIRE BOTTLE. THE BOTTOM OF THE ACFT IS COMPLETELY BATHED IN HYD FLUID FROM THE WING TO THE TAIL CONE. YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THE ACFT HAS MULTIPLE SERIOUS LEAKS NOW. IT REQUIRED ASSISTANCE FROM MAINT TO DETERMINE THAT IN FACT THE ACFT WAS NOT LEAKING. THE ACFT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN UP FOR BEING DIRTY. THIS IS BEYOND DIRTY. THIS IS BEYOND SCARING THE PAX. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY OF FLT ISSUE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IF THE ACFT IS AIRWORTHY.
