Warning: Caught a friend skipping a fuel line inspection

We were doing a weekly check on a small plane, and my friend missed a full fuel line look. He said it always passes, so why waste time. I felt stuck between calling him out or letting it slide. I ended up doing the inspection myself quietly. Makes you wonder where to draw the line, right?

But saying "it always passes" is how small issues become big problems, don't you think?

Seen that happen with regulars at my bar.

Yikes, people forget that skipping checks isn't just unsafe, it's a huge liability thing. If something ever did go wrong, you'd both be in deep trouble for signing off on it.
