nasa and Blue Hauler. Sorry, I wasn't following this thread and only just discovered Blue Hauler's PM.
"Torres will be able to answer this better than I, but in the regs somewhere, yes I'm too bloody busy & lazy to go find, it states that you can run over your M/R if positioning the aircraft for maintenance IAW the maintenance system the aircraft is being operated to."
We originally had the C208B's on Cessna's approved 400 hour maintenance cycle, later reduced to a 300 hours approved Class A maintenance system with certain component TIS voluntarily reduced - e.g. fuel nozzel change at 400 hours and boroscope inspections increased as this was cheaper than hot section replacement!
The intermediate checks had some flexibility - return to home maintenance base only I think - but the total 300 hour maintenance cycle had no flexibility.
It is my understanding that an MR hours or time in service is inflexible. Run out of hours away from home base and you will need a CASA Permit to Fly to get home.
As it should be!
