Misunderstand perhaps, but jest I do not. However, I am expressing my opinion, not legal fact. I don't expect others' opinions to align with mine, but I'm cool with that. We've had multiple pages of varying opinions, some intelligible some less so, but still not one demonstration of fact that the overhaul of bendix magnetos on calendar time is a mandatory requirement. As to SB643, one does not have to comply with ANY of it. Don't ask your AWI 'do we have to comply with the calendar overhaul of these magnetos?' but rather ask 'are all the manufacturers' SBs now mandatory?'. You might very well get 2 different answers. I have it in writing from CASA that compliance with a SB (that is not incorporated into the aircraft service manual) is not mandatory, and following the advice in the bulletin should be considered by the registered operator, who is responsible for the continued airworthiness of the aircraft. Do you have written advice to the contrary?
