Time in service is for the cable assembly, not the individual pieces, and is based off the aircraft manufacture date. The clock starts after the aircraft is signed off as airworthy, and repeats every 15 years. (technically). If you live on the coast and the project is taking 10 years to complete, consideration of cable assembly deterioration must be taken into account. As an alternative, using MSG-3 methodology (maintenance program) will allow a potential extension. I don't see MSG-3 as an option for the KR builder. Darn. Roger Baalman rbaalman at cox.net
