----- the 'contaminating' stats from less expert maintenance regimes having been removed.
Folks,
This raises the issue of where the "expert" maintenance is to be found. In my experience, by far the great majority of owner/maintainers do a very high standard job --- on the whole aircraft.
After all, this is dictated by self interest, if nothing else, they will be flying in said flying machines. But it is not just self interest, it is pride and enthusiasm for their aircraft.
I do not want to malign LAMEs in general, but there are some real roughies about.
Tootle pip!!
