I know what your saying, but you can't look at the process of AD's in isolation,
They aren't going to issue an AD for every individual component which are many
And varied, for every different aircraft type and component overhaul requirements therein, you might say, well then just issue an AD stating all components must be done I.a.w. The overhaul schedule,
but the requirements
Already Are that you must carry out maintenance I.a.w. The approved Data,
The MM already gives you the overhaul periods, and under schedule 5 it's stated the components must have an overhaul period.
Again, you can't say I'll do the 500hr, but not the calendar, that's picking and choosing, if the Doc gave you the option of one or the other, that's different.
What gets me, even if you fly maybe 50hrs a year, that's 5g in fuel alone,
20g over 4 years, hangarage might be 20G for the same period, 20G for insurance, (not to mention scheduled servicing) so your paying 60G over 4 years just with those 3 examples, and you can't budget $400 for a 4yr (IRAN) over 4 years for a Mag inspection?
