partnerships and faa enforcement actions

[csfahey]

I have seen some horror stories regarding non-operator owners being cited for illegal operation of an aircraft by someone else in the owners plane.  Can anyone tell me how the FAA handles violations by an aircraft held in a partnership?  I am concerned with an 18 year old being allowed to operate the Mooney in our partnership and I am trying to protect myself.

If you believe the plane is being used illegally you should take action to stop it. If you can't then exit the partnership completely. If your name is on the title, you are involved.
