T-33 Down

Costly and needing to be done on a much more than annual (IIRC 45 day )
cycle.

Any ex egress types on here who can remember the inspection interval?

the FAA requires they be inerted.

Thanks Les...I was just going to ask why this requirement was
made.

But isn't that just as any other system requirement?...the a/c
must have to be maintained and inspected right?. Seems to me that
the FAA is merely giving the owners an 'out' so as to circumvent
a very costly inspection right?.
