Does anyone have any knowledge of the acceptability of changing the Minimum Inspection programme to remove the 6 year calendar back stop ie operating the propeller on condition but retaining the the 2000 hour TBO. ?
I understand Sensenich fix pitch props operate with a 2000 hrs TBO but have no calendar back stop.
Right about the Sensenich. 2000 hours to match the Lycoming. Believe you can make your mind up about SDMP, but when you get to annual, your engineer can disagree and amend when he does the review. Sorry should have said he/she......
