Appropriate management of maintenance completely prevents such things.
I once had a perfect P Baron.
Victor Sloan runs a great shop, by the way;
And I paid HIM a lot of money to be able to say that.
Beech did my first ($40K) annual.
Now I question the point of insurance; THAT'LL MAKE FLYING CHEAPER!!
AIG blows. "How 'bout we cobble something together at the wreckong yard for
$170K?"
Beech SN TJ415 (Anniversary Edition) deserves repair at Beech.
By the book.

Yeah. Like just a few months ago I had a mechanical problem - right
engine starter bendix wouldn't engage. Takeoff was delayed by two
hours while I decowled the engine, cleaned out the bendix, and
reassembled.


Was it that long? Didn't seem like working on the plane took
that long. Must be because you stopped to gobble down BBQ Pork Loin
or whatever carnivorous material y'all were devouring, fresh salad
which actually had flavor, topped off with the (in)famous brownies.
Catch that being served on an airline during a mechanical or wx
delay

Cheers,
Sydney

Unfortunately you're not the first person I've heard sing
that song .

A few years back there were a pair of Cardinal owners who had
accidents fairly close in time to each other (mechanical failure
being involved in each case).

One had AIG, the other had USAIG. Two letters, and all the
difference in the world in how the claims were handled.

Good luck,
Sydney
