Another argument for a check list and flat fee for the annual. I expect
to pay for my squawks and legitimate problems found at the time of
the annual; but the flat fee takes care of the bulk of learning a new
plane (even if it is a model the mechanic is familiar with, the first
time
through all the paperwork takes more time than next year.

Linda/John,
I just completed 14 months of work on a 415-C. Lot's of work (the
plane
had sat for 10+ years), upgrades, STC's, etc. I can tell you 10
months of
that was the A & P's lack of know 'coupe knowledge and fear of
"jumping into
it". Not only the time, but I'm very sure I paid for his learning
curve.
Needless to say, the one I'm restoring now has a different
mechanic, one
that I'm 'training' to be with me for years to come.
