At the end of the day the shop insurance is also going to play a huge roll as it does now with on condition engines a lot of shop wont and cant release them
Folks,
More urban myths.
During a previous period of controversy over AD/ENG/4, which was being stoutly opposed by a number of maintenance providers, ( all on SAFETY grounds, of course, what happens in the rest of the world will not work in Australia) on the basis that their English comprehension did not extend to understanding the difference between
Manufacturer's RECOMMENDED TBO, and the somewhat shorter term, TBO, "recommended" being a very long word, there was considerable effort made to rope in the various insurers.
A well known national representative organisation approached ALL the then providers of Hangar Keepers policies, and quizzed them about placing limitations on policies re. releasing aircraft that had engines over Manufacturers RECOMMENDED TBO. ie: the insurance underwriter placing a limitation on a policyholder using AD/ENG/4 on behalf of a Registered Operator customer.
The short answer was NO!. They all said that CASA requirements (however expressed) had to be complied with, that was it. In fact, in this area, they were reluctant to place custom conditions on individual policies at the request of the buyer of the policy.
Tootle pip!!
