Mmmm....

B429 ....

You MUST bring the circumstances of this incident to the notice of your regulating authority.

You MUST also get your company Chief Engineer AND Chief Pilot involved as the circumstances appear to have effectively voided the aircraft airworthiness certificate and thus any insurance you might have thought you had.

It is beholding of any person who knows/suspects that for any reason that an aircraft no longer be airworthy bring that to the notice of the person responsible for the airworthiness of that aircraft in this case the maintenance controller of your company.

The engineer who caused the overspeed should have made an immediate entry in the aircraft maintenance release grounding the aircraft pending further inspection/action as required.

The engineer (if he is licensed)is directly responsible to the licensing authority even before he is responsible to his employer (who just pays him!) and not that many companies really understand this distinction.

That engineer has to do some explaining!
