It looks absolutely reasonable to me but only because of the first line.
Few renters realize just how responsible they are for the condition of the aircraft. As far as the FAA is concerned, when the wheels leave the ground, you are like the captain of a ship. The buck, including the maintenance buck, stops with you. If the engine quits and you end up in a field and it turns out it quit because of an AD that was not complied with, the FAA will want to know if you reviewed the logbooks and verified that all AD's were CW. If the logs say CW and they are able to determine that it wasn't, they'll go back to the shop. If you say, "Huh, I thought the FBO took care of all that.", they may lift your license for a while. They might even lift it if they just ramp checked you and found something wrong with the plane. If you aren't ready to take the responsibility, you shouldn't be in the air. Of course, tell most FBO's that you'd like to take the logs for the plane you are going to rent home overnight to review them and they'll look at you like you were asking for the first four hours free. -- Roger Long |
