Example - Cessna 182 (1969 - 1976) Maintenance Manual P/N D2006R4-13.
This manual was last updated in full on 1 March 2004. 3 temporary revisions have been issued since #4,5&6 in 2008, 2011 and 2012.
" Filing Instructions for this Temporary Revision"
"1. For paper publications ******
2. For Aerofiche publications ********
3. For CD publications, mark the temporary revision part number on the CD label with red marker. This will be a visual identifier that the temporary revision must be referenced when the content of the CD is being used. Temporary revisions should be collected and maintained in a notebook or binder near the CD library for quick reference."
Now it appears ATP make me buy the 100 series for $5,865US ($7,777AUD) and a yearly renewal of $4650 ($6,100). Now my little 182 only does 70 hrs a year and I charge a fixed rate 100hly @ $2,400, and only look after one of them.
Apart from the fact most my staff struggle with ATP and others, Aventext is user friendly. Yes I have a few extra folders on the computer desk now, but a small price to pay. (on type that only see every 3 or 4 years I print reduced at 9 pages to 1 can only be read with magnifier but keeps it legal and can be read on Cessna site when needed).
So the CASA AWI was certainly not green just well informed by the time they left. I was told I needed to check Cessna for revisions monthly (even thuo Cessna send me a email for all revisions)- still a small price to pay and better than $65,000 over 10 years just for 100 series aircraft.
