So I just got a line job working at a small airport and the other day a Cherokee 140 landed and I recognized the tail number from a flight school from another airport. Now these guys fly in all the time but always do touch and goes. Well the pilot comes in and gets a drink and comes up to the desk and starts complaining about the condition of the plane. He said the door doesn't latch properly because the top latch is broken. He also said he was doing night time IFR with an instructor and wend to turn the nav lights on and they didnt work and when he went to turn the landing lights on the instructor told him the landing lights didnt work either. They were charging him a good bit for this plane too. In fact it turns out that we rent a 2006 diamond for $2 an hour less than that 140. Apparently his friend that was training with him quit because he didn't feel safe in the planes.
Now I'm not a pilot myself but aren't there some kind of regulations against things like that?
