Glad to help. Also, forgot to mention there's an AD requiring fuel injector replacement every 900 FH. AFAIK that's the only time limits that are mandatory for Part 91 Austro operators, aside from the publicized piston oil analysis / replacement requirement for certain serial numbers.

Got it.
Wish Diamond would give credit for the old engines. Would donate to local school otherwise Image
