Richard, No flame from me. Yes you have very good points. This is what I'm getting at. Say I'm your IA. I do an annual for you. What you pay for is a complete inspection. And the airplane to be airworthy. That means the paperwork too. That is what you pay for, and I believe that is what you sould get. why not do the job right and cover all the bases and cover you and the mech. It's the right thing to do right? FYI,When the Faa does an investigation into something, they will call IA's that work on that type aircraft for their input. So it's not the insurace company doing the inspection. I have been called a couple times. Mark
