maintenance intervals

Hi all,

getting a little lost in translation!

part ML.A.302 states: A MIP shall contain the following inspection intervals: (a) for aeroplanes, touring motor gliders (‘TMGs’) and balloons, every annual or 100- h interval, whichever comes first, to which a tolerance of 1 month or 10 h may be applied. The next interval shall be calculated as from the time the inspection takes place;

This text suggest to me that if a 100hr inspection was due at 2000 hr but performed at 2010, the next inspection should be done at 2110. That seems illogical though!
that way you get a 10hr credit and you could apply that to each 100hr inspection. Logic dictates that the next inspection should take place at 2100hr. But that to me doesn't make sense with the sentence: the next interval should be calculated as from the time the inspection TAKES place.

Who knows the answer?

thanks in advance
