Owner assisted for less than $300.00. Not bad for a thirty three year old bird! That is the lowest I have EVER heard - CONGRATS. New club record? MM My mechanic's rate for a 150 owner assisted annual is $300. But since he charges me travel from his home airport ($90) and we usually take care of some repair items (it was a seat rail last year), the bill is always a bit more. This year we will do bushings on the pilot side rudder pedals.

These do not include supplies such oil, ELT battery etc but still, not bad. Of course, I felt obliged to give a generous tip for such a bargain price.

Bill, It might be worth it for me to fly to your A&P every year! Wow....what's the secret here?

Annual inspection and repair are two seperate actions... and can be performed at two separate facilities by separate mechanics. A fact that can come in handy when you don't like the estimate from the first mechanic. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 18,962 Likes: 4 Member/15,000 posts | | Member/15,000 posts Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 18,962 Likes: 4 | Keep in mind that the inspection price does not include the cost of repairs.
