Scouts have bumpy landing

Airport manager Timothy Fousee said a lever that locks the landing
gear in place malfunctioned.

Or it was improperly maintained.

No, the airport manager didn't say that.

However, many things that are not properly maintained do malfunction, so
it might be "And it was not maintained", but the airport manager didn't
say that either.

In any case it really doesn't matter to the people reading this does it.

The airport manager is no more qualified to determine the state of maintenance
of the gear than I am.

It might. GA aircraft suffer far more incidents and accidents than commercial
airliners. One reason is less rigorous maintenance. It's important to make
it clear that much of the additional risk of flying in GA aircraft is
avoidable, and very often GA accidents are avoidable instances of simple
carelessness (or recklessness) on the part of flight crews or aircraft owners.

Mostly it's because they outnumber commercial aircraft by a huge margin,
fjukkwit.

Unfortunately, no, it's not that.

Lets see...he's an aviation professional, running the local airport
where the aircraft was based. He'd know the aircraft owner, and all
the A&P's at the field. As airport manager, I guarantee he's spoken
to all of the parties involved, probably had a look at the plane and
the maintenance records, and he may very well have been a witness to
the landing.

You were 6000 miles away from the incident, you haven't left your
apartment since, your only knowledge of the landing was what you read
in the links posted above, you have no aviation background, and you've
never been in a light plane or seen a maintenance log.

He's more qualified to determine the state of maintenance.

More importantly, you agree with him.

More importantly, you assume that anyone who agrees with you is more
qualified.

I wish you would go to a medical forum and argue with doctors about symptoms
and prognosis, it would be a damn hoot.

I usually agree with people who know what they are talking about, so there
isn't much to argue about with doctors. With non-doctors, on the other hand,
there's often a lot to discuss. Medicine is filled with urban legends.

Interestingly, one way to recognize true experts (in medicine or anything
else) is that they will occasionally say "I don't know," if they don't know.
Non-experts trying to pass themselves off as experts are very afraid to ever
say this, lest their cover be blown.
