AN IA RATED MECHANIC SIGNED OFF AN ANNUAL INSPECTION ON A MOONEY ACFT AS AIRWORTHY BEFORE FINISHING THE INSPECTION.

Narrative

FAR VIOLATIONS: I SIGNED OFF AN ANNUAL INSPECTION ON A MOONEY ACFT AS AIRWORTHY BEFORE I FINISHED THE INSPECTION. I LET THE ACFT OWNER HELP. SO I MAY HAVE SUPERVISED AN ANNUAL IN PART; I MAY HAVE NOT DONE SOME AIRWORTHY DIRECTIVES THAT WERE DUE; SINCE I DID NOT FINISH THE ANNUAL. WHEN I REALIZED WHAT I HAD MISTAKENLY DONE; I NOTIFIED THE ACFT OWNER THAT I NEEDED TO CORRECT MY ENTRY TO SAY; 'I BEGAN AN ANNUAL BUT DID NOT FINISH IT;' AND WE NEEDED TO FINISH THE ANNUAL. HE REFUSES TO GIVE ME ACCESS TO THE ACFT OR THE LOGS; BUT HAS MAILED ME ANOTHER CHK I WILL RETURN. I NOTIFIED MY PRINCIPAL I VIOLATED THE FAR BUT NO DETAILS YET. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO FINISH ON A FRIDAY NIGHT; I WAS GOING TO CLEAN THE FUEL SCREEN WHEN WE RETRACTED THE GEAR; BECAUSE THE SCREEN IS UNDER A PANEL THE NOSE DOOR BLOCKS ACCESS TO UNLESS RETRACTED. THE OWNER BROUGHT ABOUT 35 LBS OF TAIL WT AND I SAID WE NEED 300 LBS OR ELSE IT'S ON ITS NOSE. I GAVE THE OWNER A LIST OF DISCREPANCIES WE NEEDED TO FIX. IT WAS JUST TURNING DARK AND BEGINNING TO RAIN. I TOLD THE OWNER I HAD TO GO AND COME BACK IN A WEEK TO FINISH. HE BECAME ANGRY AND VERY VERBALLY ABUSIVE. WANTED ME TO COME TO HIS HOUSE TO GET MORE MONEY; I SAID NO I HAVE TO GO OR I MIGHT GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. I WAS RECORDING WHAT WORK I HAD DONE AND WANT TO STOP BEFORE THE SIGNOFF; BUT I GUESS IT WAS LIKE AUTOMATIC WRITING AND I JUST KEPT WRITING THINKING I WAS GOING TO DIE IF I DIDN'T LEAVE; AND MISTAKENLY; SIGNED IT OFF AND LEFT; I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED TILL THE NEXT DAY. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS -- MY ATTITUDE. I USED THE CHKLIST AS A REQUIREMENT TO FILL IN AFTER THE FACT NOT AS A PROTECTION BEFORE I TOOK THE NEXT STEP. BLINDSIDED BY CUSTOMER; WHO I THINK WANTS TO KEEP AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY MISTAKE AND IS SENDING ME MONEY SO I'LL STOP WANTING TO CORRECT MY MISTAKEN ENTRY; I WON'T COMPOUND MY MISTAKE WITH MORE MISTAKES. THAT'S WHY I WILL TELL MY PRINCIPAL. TO PREVENT REOCCURRENCE; I'M HAVING A STAMP MADE UP THAT STOPS WHEN I WANT TO STOP AND FORCES MANUAL COMPLETION. THIS SHOULD BREAK THE CHAIN OF AUTO WRITING.
