Why Annual Inspections? - Subscribe to Savvy Aviation
Why does the FAA require owners of small GA airplanes to put them through a complete inspection every 12 months, even if they've only flown 40 hours or less since the last inspection? Does it really make sense to open up the wings, empennage, and tailcone and remove the seats, carpets and floorboards to inspect for corrosion every 12 months? In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA explores this issue by pointing out that owners of big boy airplanes like King Airs aren't required to do this, but owners of smaller airplanes are.
