A PIPER PA28 WAS RELEASED FOR SVC AFTER AN ANNUAL INSPECTION WITH INCOMPLETE WORK AND AN AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED.

Narrative

AFTER I HAD RETURNED THE ACFT TO SVC; THE OWNER AND A PROSPECTIVE BUYER TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECH WHO WAS EMPLOYED BY THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER FOR A PRE-BUY INSPECTION. THE MECH FOUND NUMEROUS DISCREPANCIES; GNDED THE ACFT AND CALLED THE FSDO. FSDO SENT AN INSPECTOR OUT TO DO A SPOT CHK; AND DETERMINED THAT THE ACFT WAS NOT AIRWORTHY. I FAILED TO COMPLY WITH AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE #81-11-02R1; 96-09-10; AND POSSIBLY 95-26-13. OTHER DISCREPANCIES RANGING FROM A MAGNETO BLAST TUBE MISSING; TO UNAPPROVED FASTENERS; TO A TORN TRIM SERVO BOOT AND SEVERAL OTHERS INBTWN WERE FOUND. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE VALIDITY OF THE DISCREPANCIES WITHOUT SEEING THEM OR THE LOGBOOKS; BUT THE AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE COMPLIANCE IS TRULY MY MISTAKE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE RELIED ON PREVIOUS LOG ENTRIES TO MAKE DETERMINATIONS ABOUT EXISTING CONDITIONS. I ALSO SHOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED AN OWNER TO PERFORM WORK ON HIS AIRPLANE. I SILL HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE LOGS; OR TALK TO THE MECH WHO FOUND THESE THINGS.
