Dear subscribers,

I learned from an aircraft mechanic at our airport = that many components in a certified airplane have a limited life = time.

For examples hoses for hydraulics, brakes or fuel = need to be replaced after ten years.

When I wanted to put the fuel pump back in the plane = on my 4P rebuild project I found on the back of the pump the note that the = pump needs to be replaced or serviced after ten years.

I had a pre buy inspection done at Lancair. At this = time most of the components were already 12 years old. Lancair didn’t = mention anything about expired components.

I am wondering if I should put all my old stuff back = in the plane as long as it looks half way decent or if should replace certain = things.

What components do I need to replace – the = components of my 4P are approx 13 years old but the plane has just 240 hrs. I would describe the physical appearance of most of the components as old and = messy.

Thanks for your help

Ralf
