Transport airplanes typically go 5-6000 hours between C-checks and C is the shortest interval where the airplane is actually opened up to look at the major mechanical systems.
Perhaps the SR 22 owner was unaware that those items were not required? We have performed annuals where the quote/discrep list cost was up to $16,000, but much less than half were airworthy required items and we just need signatures denoting they denied propeller overhaul and items similar to that as a CYA. Ensuring that they know they are not required, just recommended by manufacturer As for the Cirrus Rocker cover loose issue, I wonder if it was a repair station or simply an AP on the side? Lots of people complain about prices at Part 145, but at least there’s (supposed) to be quality control procedures: a second st of knowledgeable eyes. Not that all RS are reputable.
All the GA aircrafts have been made with aluminum skin, many screws being used, the problem is those a/p mechanics use the powerful hand drill to remove and install those screws, I wonder those mechanics have brains which are able to think or understand
Mechanic Induced Failure: the Snap-on tool truck arrival causing the wrench turner to lose concentration is so very true, and so very scary ...
As a Aircraft Maintenance Engineer student in Canada I find your videos very instructive. Thanks a lot!!!
thanks for putting these on youtube

WHEN IN DOUBT, CHECK IT OUT!
Change your parts, oil; and everything else less. It’s proven you’ll have less issues.
This 7 year old BS 🤦🏻♂️
