And here we go again . . . . 18 months after spending £35k unnecessarily on a new engine, i find that the maintenance shop sent the prop for overhaul to a non-FAA approved organisation (it's an N-reg a/c).

My new & very thorough shop has picked this up & the FAA A&P is now telling me that the prop needs to be removed and re-overhauled . . another £3,5k doen the drain.

Can maintenance shops really do what the hell they like and then claim no responsibility or liability ?
