We are having the annual inpsection done on our club L-23s and the
mechanic
just called and said that the rudder cables, instrument hoses, and landing
gear strut all have life limits of 15 years according to the maintenance
manual - rudder cables and instrument hoses must be replaced and landing
gear strut must be rebuilt.

Our maintenance manual is dated 1995. Does anyone know if these life
limits
have been extended or removed in subsequent revisions to the maintenance
manual?

Thanks,

Look at the TCDS for the L-23. *It all depends on how you interpret
Note 3.

I interperet said note to not be mandatory for part 91 operations.
However, I think you should always follow all service instructions/
recommendations of the manufacturer where possible/practilcal

The TCDS I found has this for Note 3:

G60EU
Revision 5
LETECKE ZAVODY
L 23 Super Blanik
January 11, 2006

NOTE 3. *Information essential to the continued airworthiness,proper
maintenance,
* inspection and repair is contained in the LET "L 23 SUPER-BLANIK
* Maintenance Manual (Books 1 and 2). *Time Limits/Maintenance Checks are
* listed in Chapter 5.

Can you elaborate?

It does not say you MUST comply, as part of the operating limitations,
like in other portions of the TCDS. Then again, it certainly implies
you should.

Again, it depends how would one interperet this
