I see your point Bushbandit.
The problem is anyone can set up under part 43 and sign for maintenance and unfortunately youd never know if they were any good.
The checks on the part 43 outfits are minimal, you dont even have to have a full time employee rated on the aircraft you work on..just get some guy in.
Maintenance-wise Robinsons are almost bullet proof but not fool-proof.

Why are there not more strict guidelines on staff and experience and audits for part 43 ????
