Yet again the claimed improvement in AOG spares is found wanting. Our aircraft went for its Annual on 8 May and very soon afterwards corrosion was found on the MR Mast and it was declared u/s. There appear to be no spares available until the next delivery to MD from the maunfacturer sometime at the end of June - a 6 week-ish AOG delivery at best !!!!!
This is the third time in 14 months and the second in 4 months where the part we are AOG for is one of the "exceptions" to the AOG delivery improvement and we are having to put up with significant downtime.
