Need Advice - What to check when renting a plane?

There are ways to get them out of the office and actually
look at an airplane. But the most desirable thing is to get
the logbooks and the A&P/AI that did the last annual to go
over the records and then you check on the airplane to see
if you can identify the work that is described in the logs.

Even better, take a an hour or three on a class on aircraft
record keeping.

| The easiest method is to call the FAA and ask for a ramp

| Jim,

| The FAA would NEVER do that. Maybe 20 years ago, but not
today. They have,
| what they believe, work to do.
