No. This is not liability limits. It's intrusive inspections of older
aircraft
designed to get them off the market to try to bolster the sale of
new aircraft. Not unlike the inspections of older cars designed to get them
off the road that
are promoted and supported by the new car manufacturers.

I heard about something like this a while back. Apparently the new
planes
aren't selling all that good and there's some lobbying going on to limit
the
life of the old ones. Maybe that's what it's about.



I think that what you are referring too, is the Limits of Liability of the
original manufacturers. Should Piper or Cessna be liable if a 40 year
old
airframe fails? (or mebbe/ coulda/ possibly. failed) If the builder's
liability could be capped by statute at 25 years, the savings in
litigation
would be reflected in lower costs for new GA aircraft. (in theory)
