I should have also mentioned that in the UK as well as the * annual there is an annual, 50hr/ 6 month checks. Compression and mag checks are made at the annual. However, if you take a look at Teledyne manuals you see that they say that a compression check is only of variable use. I still like the idea of the test flight which is a practical way of getting a feel for the real performance of the aircraft.
