I first saw the McD questionaire in the late 1980s, while I was in the USMC.
The other is also familiar from the time-frame… we had lots of such lists.
Sometimes the solution was to change aircrew…
The back-seater in F-4s & F-14s was called the Radar Intercept Officer… RIO for short.
P: radar not functioning correctly.
S: removed & replaced R10, system checks 4-0.
P: control stick feels loose.
S: tightened loose nut behind stick, works fine.
