The question of lifed items continues with no satisfactory written conclusion.
On third hand advice Ive now taken it to be ADs & Airworthiness Limitations in the TCDS are mandatory while SBs & manufacturers lifed items are not mandatory, but should be reviewed & incorporated into the maintenance programme if desired.
I cant get a simples answer from CAA surveyors as they have their tune sheets changed daily, the CAA advice in the various press articles is different from that presented in LAMP which seems to make it mandatory or not, depending on how you want to read it.
So, is a 2000hr/6yr TBO as required by an SB enforceable? Who knows.
