Narrative:

On sep/xa/95 my company sent me and a mechanic to 'stl' to fix a PC12 pilatus. When we arrived at XA00 local I received a call from company advising that aircraft PA46 was in 'sus' and needed repair. I was told that it had sustained tail damage when a company pilot had misloaded the aircraft. The aircraft was on a 'demonstration' flight and the pilot was a 135 king air captain (but only a private single engine pilot). I stayed until our mechanic fixed the PA46, while the passenger and other pilot continued their trip in another PA46. I am concerned over the training the other pilot received from company.
