Thanks,
Rigga.
At least I know for sure now about replacement time.
You don't have any other choices except to ignore the AMM and lose any insurance cover you have
They have insurance, I guess.
By the way, I got work report on one AC recently, where MRO replied something like: "ok, your cables are overdue. We ordered new ones. Placed as <Hold item>. Will be replaced on next maintenance."
But CRS was signed... What happened in this case ? Aircraft is flying with LLP overdue and nobody cares ? What CAA would say in case of inspection ?
I already know how important is to handle properly with AD's. But what about components? Theoretically, aircraft should be grounded in case of life limited component overdue (as it is with AD's), but experienced MRO signs the CRS.
P.S. may be I didnt say it before, but airplanes are used commercially (flight school).
