One thing I have learned is that the 505 does not have any calendar items other than TT straps every 4 yrs). Is that correct? This is a major $$ saver as I'm hearing this 12yr inspections on the EC120 are quite expensive (a few instances of over $200k). The link provided in the Bell 505 maintenace thread appears to contradict this (sorry I can't posts links until 10 total posts lol)? Seems there are a few 1, 2, 3 and 6 yr inspections.
A side note/comment reading the link in Bell 505 maintenance thread is this RIN concept. I guess it is like cycles/landings. I haven't dug into machines in this depth before as a new pilot so find this interesting more than anything. Auto's are very punitive for some components. Practically, how does this get tracked? If I were doing recurrent training in the machine, I suppose I need to keep a record and report to my maintenance folks?
