That quote seems about right for the amount of work required.
When the Caravan maintenance program changed to the Task system CASA demanded that all Caravans were to be put onto the system, as they deemed the annual inspection criteria inadequate.
Just to set up the new program took me over a week of research to find out the stage of the program a particular machine was at. Which I couldn't charge for.
BTW $110 an hour is not the most expensive rate around.
Edit to add: From memory, It depends where the aircraft was in the previous maintenance program, there may be some major work required, the Task document details the interval and inspection/replacement criteria.
And can be expensive, remember our Government wants all passengers to enjoy the same safety margins as QANTAS paxs
