C-130tecchie, yes I see your point about ADF's and LIM's, but IMHO they are there to allow the aircraft to fly when it is paramount to operations, NOT to keep the aircraft flying locals etc untill it is so broken that it is useless. Stuff like minor cracks, broken anchor nuts nuts, fine, but IMHO stuff like ATM's and aircon packs should NOT be LIM'd, as they are important items.
