Wing spars probably are.
IMHO don't fall for this blackmail. Let their insurance handle it. If they report it, so be it, it will NOT ruin your career, just a little extra hassle. Nothing worth paying $20k out of pocket for.
Youre thinking exactly as I am. But here's the issue. He already told me he wont sue me for Loss of Revenue. If I go tell him all this ya'll good men are saying about this incident being unreportable to NTSB, he might ****** me over and sue me for LOR. If, that's IF he reports it to FAA/NTSB, will they follow through with it? Or will they interpret Part 830 and dismiss the case?
