Once again, its time for the 100 hr AD sign offs for my Mooney. I
still cannot come close to understanding the logic behind the injector
line AD on lycomings. My understanding is that some A&P at some point
accidently bent some of the lines and didn't understand that it would
effect the available pressure to the injector. Ok, sounds like maybe
there should be an AD after work is done on injector lines. But no.
The FAA says we must check every 100 hours to ensure an A&P hasn't
made this mistake! This is silly! Has this AD ever actually caught a
real problem??

Everbody needs to vent every now and then...

You are really talking about 02-26-01, aren't you?

The additional work to inspect the injector lines during an annual or
100 hr inspection is pretty minimal, they should really be getting
looked at anyway. Yes, it is going to take some time to sign off and
keep track of AD status.

You are aware that the inspection is NOT due every 100 hrs, but is due
during annual INSPECTION, 100 hr INSPECTION, or after work to the
affected system.
