Actually there have been cases where the pilot or owner was cited by the FAA
for not making sure that all ADs were complied with. There have been cases
were the owner/pilot was cited because the IA did not make the proper log
book entry.

The FARs state that the owner/operator is responsible to determine
airworthiness, not the IA.

I know, you pay the IA to do a job, but if he does not log it correctly,
then it's the owner or pilot that takes the hit.

Which is why I use the FAA website instead of ADlog. If I relied only
on ADlog, 70% of the applicable ADs would be missed.
