How much time on the ground do you taxi wheather as owner or student

I would take the notes attached to Hongie's post with a grain of salt. Try reading Mike Busch's books and you will discover that only RAAus and GA still cling to the discredited idea of mandatory dismantling-type inspections.

 

Counter-intuitive? You bet. The airlines have long since moved to Reliability Centered Maintenance, which is quite different.

I agree... but. If you are hiring a machine out, I doubt you can run any sort of maintenance, except that which the OEM and the regulator sets

Well just an add on... I was at Moorabin on Thursday. The landing and taxi was great....BUT we spent 23 minutes taxing and at a holding point until we got clearance.... wow.
