" Bits changed without explanation - that the owner
thinks were o.k. "
1. The last time I checked, the owner was not certifying the work, so if the licensed engineer deems an item beyond limits or will not last to the next S.M.I. he is entitled to replace the item or refuse to sign the aircraft out ( which will cost you more money for a 2nd inspection of the aircraft ). Of coarse a owner should be informed of defects, but he does not have a right to veto aircraft safety issues
2. In the past, when letting marginal items go, ( to please the owner ) then when the item fails before the next S.M.I.
you - the owner cries foul play that way. ( You've only just checked that last month you moan ! ).
Unfortunatly to many owners want their cake and to eat it - at everone elses expense
I guess aircraft owners in making their fortunes always charge a fair price for their product / service - NOT !
