Illegal Maintenance
Just started to do some instruction at the local club again after a bit of a break.
I was horrified to note a leading member of the club committee with the cowls open on one of the club's trainers with spanner in hand attempting to rectify a defect which cropped up at the weekend. He is NOT a licensed aircraft engineer. Apparently this activity is a fairly common practice, especially at the weekend when licensed engineers are not available.
I don't want to rock the boat but I am not at all happy with this sort of conduct. The issue is not so much the competence of this individual to carry out maintenance but the fact that it is illegal and there is the liability issue to contend with.
Anyone got any good ideas as to how I can (tactfully) address this issue?
Thanks for any help.
