I agree, Gernghis.

All the information to determine the aircraft servicability should be readily available without having to ask.

The problem is, many flying schools/clubs operate aircraft they don't own, and the aircraft logbooks are rarely available for inspection.

All you get is a pseudo Tec Log, which, if you're lucky, will enable you to work out the date and hours the next check is due, and if you're really lucky, will give you some information on defects.

There was a time before EASA when rental aircraft had to have a proper Tec Log. Maybe we should go back to that?

If you are concerned, you only have to ask to see it.
But, without the infomation, how do you know if you should be concerned?

I know we cant change the system, but I just wondered if anyone else shared my concern.
