As the operator of the PA34 Seneca 5, surprised to see the comments from 'flying for fun' I was disapointed to see the comments re the availablility of the aircraft for technical reasons, namely the panel lights, although the servicability of the aircraft is not questioned the cause of the failure of the panel lights was not immediately apparent. as an operator and a licensed maintenance facility we will not release an aircraft to service until we have repaired the problem and furthermore established the reason for the failure. the aircraft is now servicable and I am sure that the pilot (who was probably flying for fun) who completed the test flight (FOC) with myself was pleased with the performance and the release to service of the nicest seneca 5 which is available for hire in the UK (at the moment!).
