but I remember most of them where cracked so probably the majority of Chippies are on a 6 year repeat inspection.
I know of two accidents here where the aircraft arrived with massive vertical velocity (destroying one; badly damaging the other). Both aircraft had pre-existing cracks in the u/c leg housing, yet neither came anywhere near actually failing!
