heres another couple of things if i were you. 1st if that plane was ANYWHERE around salt air or water, i would become ONE WITH THE WORD.........INTERGRANULAR CORROSION! and pull every inspection plate looking for anything amiss. i would ALSO go down the NTSB's "AD" list of any aviation directives re: that exact model and mfg. date.
basically what yer doing is a "PPI" on a plane along with your upcoming annual.
what we see ALL the time here is guys with some dough, who want to fly ("i wanna fly") suddenly and inexplicably BECOME CHEAP as far as correct/timely maintenance. and the ensuent problems..............which compound themselves really fast.
remember the (2) WORST PRIVATE PILOTS out there are DOCTORS and ex-airline pilots and we have gaggles of those here.
we have had our A&P for over 15years and he MISSES NOTHING and will break yer balls if he does find something wrong.
have fun be smart be safe as we have seen some real boners here the last 15years just at this aeropuerto.
