Remi,
Yes, I agree with you, a bit of "common sense" would be nice
especially in my case.
My first annual is due on the 22/03/10, due to the fact that I can't fly
in the summer from June to October be course I have a seasonal business
I have only managed to do 26hrs. Obviously the bearings don't need
greasing, but my inspector insists on going by "the book" :-( .
Cheers Danny G-ceri
Ps remember this is aviation they have to make it hard for us !!!
