For ops to despatch an aircraft to a particular job implies all is in order for that job to be done.
That all might not be in order on arrival implies negligence at some level.(at best, deliberate misinformation at worst)
Personally, I do not like the idea of turning a prop unless the outcome is pretty much assured.
Any other way is just an armed recce.

I'm glad you agree.
I have found life easier where I can tell a client or bug checker when taking an order that if things go wrong, they are coming to court with me when the sh it hits the fan and they could end up playing mums and dads in jail.
Since I have started using this method life has become a lot less stressful and as off today, no more landing with loads.
I am waiting for the rest of the states to come into line with these laws.
I'm afraid in some seasonal work you have to head out with a load and hope you have extracted all possible information from the available sources.

M18 Bloke,
The whole point of that quote is that the buck can only stop in one place.
Where do you want it? Your cockpit or the boss's office?
Good idea though. If there was a sticker in the cockpit, what would it read?
Fact is there are already a bunch of stickers there and they usually relate closely to the correct operation of the aircraft. How often do you read them?

Getting back to the original question, how can you be responsible an not have legislation?
Regardless of all the answer, there are laws on who is responsible and liable, even if they are different in each state!
If you don't know where you stand, take the AAAA's advice and get yourself some good insurance to make sure you are covered, or drive out to every block and check it from the ground before you spay every time.
