Mandatory reporting to CAA
Someone trying to cover up an incident, and dispatching an un-airworthy aircraft, IS jeopardizing flight safety!
In JAA land, some items are considered mandatory to report to the CAA.
Does a MOR (mandatory occurrence report) exist in SA to CAA, if so that would be the logical step to take.
Considering reporting up the chain of command would be the next option.
