nk.net... [...] Basically my point of view is that if I am responsible for deciding what to replace and when, then I am responsible for the outcomes. If I choose to save money by not doing something and that decision results in a failure, then I should be financially responsible. I'll go one further than Mike's opinion here. IMHO, the question of whether the owners chose "to save money by not doing something" is irrelevant. Failures can happen even with the most detailed maintenance. The fact remains that in any situation, the OWNER is ultimately responsible for costs related to maintenance. Period. If the airplane is being rented to someone else, that doesn't change anything. It is the owner upon whom any maintenance-related expenses should fall. Of course, a mutually agreed-upon contract that specificies something different would change this. Renters are free to voluntarily commit to the liability of maintenance-related costs if they want. But I don't know any renters who would do so, and in fact one of the few benefits of renting is that you don't have to deal with these costs, not directly (obviously, those costs wind up built into the rental fees, but that means that no single renter will wind up with some surprise expense, the bane of ownership). Certainly no renter should expect to pay any costs that are not specifically described prior to the rental. Pete |
