Prop Overhaul for a prop that has 700 hours on it from new.
Mag overhauls because they are over 500 hours
Vac pump replacement at 500 hours
Seat belts replacing as they are 10 years
Static lines replacing


Interesting attitude!

As the owner of four aircraft I have found that Slick Mags require the 500 hour at just over 500 hours or the internal timing falls out of limits making for poor low speed running & starting, At about 600 hours the Vac pumps fails with no warning what so ever.

Just two issues that I would think the serious IFR pilot that you seem to be would give some consideration to.

As for the prop is that not the manufactuers limits ? not EASA.


As you may guess form other posts I am no friend of EASA however you seem to think that the FAA is unlikely to want you putting an aircraft on the American system just so you can cheapskate on maintenance.
