You should write an article on this A&C.
I've spoken to loads of people about this, and even went to one presentation, but I am still none the wiser as to the real options available to an owner who wishes to be pro-active and who has to work it all with airfield politics which often dictate using one firm for "some" work.
It looks like some options are very interesting but would be politically hard to arrange.
And, as always, doing all possible maintenance under pilot privileges saves a lot of money because many companies charge around £500 for the 50hr check. This has to be worked into the process.
