Geez! Royal or not, if you charter a budget company, you get budget service! IDK if HiFly is budget or not. I do know this: aircraft are effing complicated. The consequences of many defects can be life threatening. (Nearly) All aircraft operators strive to detect and rectify defects while the survey is on the ground. Quit whingeing and enjoy your multi hour flight over empty ocean!
