Default Pegasus Life span in USA

Shame. On this (European) side of the pond we're flying them a lot longer,
legally. Ours is now past 5000 hours.

Yup, still limited, and with the FAA shutdown you can't even check on the
current status.

As I understand it, there is a dispute between the Centrair and the FAA
about something, and Centrair just wants to wash their hands of anything
going on in the USA.

I have a friend with a 101a that I just love to fly. Fortunately it's far
from the 3000 hr. limit.
