My friend bought the plane used. The
plane had hydraulic hoses that were original (25 years old) and he
instructed his A&P/IA to replace them at annual. The guy didn't, and
he also didn't tell my friend that he didn't.
My friend sold the Cardinal and bought a Bonanza. He won't let the
same A&P/IA work on it anymore, and has begun to do much of his own
work, having learned that you can't trust a shop.
I'm curious if the first A&P claimed to have replaced the hoses (and included
it in the maintenance entry).
