Well, I'm slow. And, the Annual inspection checklist from Diamond,
which I follow exactly, is almost 40 pages long. My A&P/IA is not
physically there for most of the time. Mainly the engine stuff at the
beginning, and after the inspection panels are off and the interior is
out. We usually total about 40 man-hours - just spread out. If we did
it continuously, we'd be done in three days or less.

With the fixed expense of airplane ownership being what it is (high,
regardless of actual usage), making your plane unavailable for three
weeks every year seems awfully expensive.

Agreed. But that's what fits my work schedule the best.
