Irish seaplane
Quote:-
Most ARC renewals for bog standard 172 are being priced at 2100-2250 Euro and ending up between 8000-10000 euro out the door. One plane jane 172 most recently wound up with a 36,000 euro annual for various items including an engine refit (just the fitting...not the o/h)
I find the prices that you are quoting rather interesting to say the least, it looks on the face of things you are being overcharged however without looking at the individual aircraft and work done it would be wrong to say that this is the case.
I know that we would not be charging that sort of money for an ARC renewal, may be you should look at getting the annual checks done in the UK, there is nothing to stop this with EASA part M.
