En-Route
I guess this goes in maintenance...
This year, I'm considering taking my plane to the HQ (about 330 nm away) for its annual. Originally, I thought I would stay there until it was done, but given my annuals seem to average 2-3 business weeks while locating/refurbing parts, that could get to be a big motel bill. I'd rather not burn that many vacation days, either.
So, what do you guys do when you annual your plane away from home at a specialized shop? "Assist" at first, go home, then return when it's done? This is kind of what I'm leaning towards.
What else do you plan for before and during?
Thanks,
Rich
