Attentive readers of this exciting, nay, thrilling thread will have noticed that the CAA's summary was linked to very early in the thread by, er, me. Someone else provided a link to Article 130 of the ANO, which is the Ur-text. Attentive readers of (a) the Summary and (b) the ANO, will have noticed that it also includes a definition of "annual costs", which include maintenance, and so forth.
IO540, it sometimes seems that, whenever you can, on assorted threads, you denounce CAA advisory documents as misleading, and slag off well-meaning instructors for being ignorant. How the CAA must love receiving your daily "...and here's another thing!" letters.
Given the Biblical Authority with which you pronouce your opinions [there is "no doubt", you say, that direct costs include 50 hr checks (ie maintenance, ie annual costs, ie the costs excluded from direct costs, derr...)], I assume that you are a Law Lord (I know that at least one of the Law Lords has a PPL, but I thought that he'd been a bit busy in Ulster just lately). I also assume, naturally, that you read the definition of annual costs before you made your last posting here.
