Light Aircraft Costs Schedule 5 v.s. Manufacturer Maintenance Schedules etc.
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if some of the more experienced guys out there could give me some info on the differences in costs between servicing your light aircraft on CASA Schedule 5 compared to other maintenance schedules like the Manufacturer Maintenance Schedule or anything else you guys use.
For private owners, is it really economically viable to use a more detailed maintenance schedule and are people using Schedule 5 to cut their costs?
What is driving light aircraft maintenance in reality? Is safety the most important factor or is this too expensive for some owners and using a less detailed machinate schedule is their only option?
Some real life actual cost figures of what it costs you per year to maintain your aircraft, and on which maintenance program you use and why would also be great!
Thanks in advance!
Steven.
