Hello All,
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!
Considering purchasing used DA-42 and question came up around Chapter 5 life limit items. Are they mandatory or recommendations per the FAA?
Any recommendations on shop/mechanic located in the Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana) to do a Pre-buy?
Thanks.

Re: DA-42 Chapter 5 Items
FAA Chapter 5 is only the manufacturer’s recommendations whereas Chapter 4 is mandatory.Jonathanf4 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 10:03 pm Considering purchasing used DA-42 and question came up around Chapter 5 life limit items. Are they mandatory or recommendations per the FAA?
