Beware of the dangers of preventative maintenance, where sometimes while replacing or inspecting or re-mounting inspected parts, the maintenance crew breaks something that was OK and probably going to be working fine for years.

But yeah, a D check is so expensive I've heard there's a habit of dumping the aircraft on less observing flying companies some thousand miles before it comes up...



A minor point, it's not based on miles, but cycles (takeoffs/landings) for structural parts or hours for engines.


You're right, thanks for the correction.
