i cannot understand how anyone would not recognise the significant safety risks posed by dismantling a vital part of the ejection seat every 50 flying hours. I honestly fail to understand why the MAA did not pick up on this as a major contributory factor.
Totally agree with you, it reminds me of the Pipers that had a Spar failure, they then decided you would need to inspect the bolt holes every I think 100 hours, it was found they were doing more damage to the spars of the fleet pulling bolts out that would normally never be removed, than the odd case of failure. So it was cancelled.
