A and C

However if something is not working and it is not a safety issue and the club want the aircraft to fly untill the next check then the snagg should be put in the defered defect part of the tech log

I agree 100% - all I can is from my own experience of three different schools is that none of them fixed things which were not legally required.

So a VOR or ADF or DME would not get fixed unless the plane was used for IMCR training. Instrument lamps would not be replaced unless it was used for the Night Rating (and out of a fleet of say 6 planes, only 1 was really needed for that).

If you run a school which is able to fix everything that breaks, at the next 50hr check, I am honestly impressed!

Before you ask why it took me 3 different schools to do the PPL, NR and IMCR, the reason is above
