Yes Glueball all true but at approx 8 years on MSG 3 programmes the CPCP and Structural Inspection tasks commence and are integrated into the work package along with the inevitable AD's...so the Checks and Man Hours become more extensive/expensive (not even considering NRC's) regardless of whether you are on old style MSG 2 (very few new delivery acft on this) or MSG 3 schedules, many of which dont now even have a C Check...
Baseline A320 MRB MSG 3 Maintenance Sched;
A Check 500FH
C Check 15 months takes approx 5 days
IL Intermediate, HMV, C4 call it what you like basically it's a D Check - takes on average 28 days - every 5 and 10 years including all CPCP tasks (and Structurals which come in at 24,000 Cycles, approx 8-10 years)
