TBO and airworthiness

Assuming you can find an IA willing to sign an annual then no. Have you found that to be a problem? I haven't. My mechanic flies his 180 on pipeline patrol and is 1000 over TBO on his 470. Another friend also flies pipeline in his PA12 and went 3600 hours before he topped it and 7000 hours before he finally majored it, that's a lot of 100 hour inspections.

Yes, many IA's I've worked with refuse to sign after 200 over TBO. Its probably a liability issue. -robert

They don't have to fail anything. If it's not returned to service, the owner is at liberty to find another IA who is willing to return it to service. An IA is not obligated to explain why he chooses not to return an aircraft to service.
