It's kind of funny...in a way. SAC is using the 10-hour inspection as a smoke screen. I might remind everyone that no matter how often you inspect a trans for cracks, if an unexpected one *does* occur in flight and all the juice leaks out, the pilots and passengers still only have about 10 minutes to get 'er on the ground. What good is your 10-hour inspection then? Were the cracks in the attachment bolts of Cougar's transmission oil filter detectable within 10 hours of them failing?
The 10-hour inspection does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with respect to FAR 29.927. Eyewash. That's all it is.
