That is why your maintenance bills are so frigging high
Just to add. I have read the accident reports for some of those UK-flown gazelles on the YU register and the quality parts and maintenance that some of them received.
You don't spend $2M+ on an aircraft and then moan about an extra $100k every 2000 hours or so.

I seriously doubt the aircraft pictured above is vaguely in the price range of an ageing 341 or indeed the budget of someone who would rather fly on a YU reg, but I will be happy if it is, and once it's logged enough hours to buff out the quirks.
