Man has his aircraft service. Man flies aircraft. Aircraft crashes. Vac pump fails. Wife sues Lame. Wife Wins. Judge states, MR issued nothing will go wrong with aircraft for the period of MR issue (Nothing). Casa states no that is not the intent of a MR Issue ie (part 2 of the MR that has a Due LIst). Judge states go away Casa. Wife wins $$$$$, Lame looses every thing, house wife business every thing.
Now here is the rub.
Aircraft flying at night.
Aircraft flying IFR
Pilot Flying at night
Pilot Flying IFR
Aircraft NOT Night VFR RATED
Aircraft NOT IFR RATED
Pilot NOT NIGHT RATED
Pilot NOT IFR RATED
LAME Looses everything for a vac pump that was not changed (pre inspection hole)
I was one of the doubters. Above is the description given, edsbar has provided a link to the court case. Clearly the outcome described above and the court case outcome are very different. Thank you for this link.
