That's good if you have the time and its not a very long and drawn out
job. But when an annual takes a minimum of 8 full days, and it needs
to be put back into service as quick as possible because it is losing
money as it sits there, and you have other planes to fly or have
another job that needs your attention as well. When are you going to
be able to be there 100% of the time? For a smaller GA plane like a
172 or an arrow or something similar I would say heck yea, but when
you start getting into larger, higher performance aircraft, you just
can't allot the time that it would take to do such things. At some
point, you do have to rely on the mechanic. All you have to do is ask
around and you can start weeding out poorly disciplined mechanics in a
heartbeat.
