Perhaps my post didn't convey my thoughts as clearly as it could have done.

Your post contained a whole range of problems ranging from problems that were not really problems at all to some that are a major concern. It is apparent from your post that you flew the aircraft.

One of the problems that you listed is a a no go item in my opinion, that is the one of the door coming open in flight. The other items you listed pale into insignificance yet you flew the aircraft knowing that fault existed.

Since you were being checked out by an instructor I will accept that you may not have been aware of the quirks of the Aztec, the instructor should be aware though. The Aztec is a handful when the door comes open in flight.

My point was that since you were prepared to fly an aircraft with an known defect like the door coming open in flight puts you in similar light to those that had allowed the other defects you mention to accumulate.
