Why?? Log books are abandoned by the owners, not the maintenance organisation
I think you misunderstood slightly. I was not referring to log books, I was referring to the whole EASA maintenance set up, and the companies that operate within that system. Of course log books are the owners responsibility. As I stated, without them the asset is virtually worthless.
I agree with you that under the EASA system veil, many poorer operators, are protected by the system, whilst genuine, honest maintenance companies, mop up after them.. But that is poor regulation and oversight, in my opinion.
