For wobbly ones see, http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP747.PDF

Section 2 Grn 17 I think

Fixed pitch

Is in lamps and covered under

8.1 Overhaul, additional inspections and test periods shall be those recommended by the type certificate holder or supplementary type

certificate holders.

Though a lot of places still seem to do it on condition, I did all of ours on the Annuals to spread them out or we would have had to ground the fleet and do them all at once.

But lets face it LAMPS is a farce, it has you changing Seat Belts on a 150 at 10 years but on a 152 the same belts have no life and are on condition.

Changing engine hoses to Teflon on a Cessna increases the life from 5 years to 10 I think it was... Change the same hoses on the same Engine make in a Piper and they go to on condition.....

Cessna though recognises that the brake hoses when changed to teflon increase in life from 5 years to on condition and even though that was to be added to the manuals 25 plus years ago as stated in the service letter we are still waiting.......

That was why LAMS was so good, it set a level playing field for all of the light stuff so you knew exactly where you were.......... now the CAA are so !!!!! scared of getting sued they fail to do their job and try to pass the buck.

These are of importance and the first would cover props
