Six years would be 2020, so the time isn't up yet. Would this apply to the aircraft in question, and if so, is there any way to know if the inspections and repairs were completed?
I’m pretty sure most of these Atlas A/C came to TLV for some type retrofit and update. You would hope something like this would be addressed
