I was amazed at the number of issues that come up concerning AD's and Service Bulletins, especially on the more complex light aircraft, that can cost private owners big money to get addressed.
Even though the purchase prices have fallen the past year or two and made the complex singles and twins more affordable, the high costs of ownership have remained.
Instead of the C-310Q I really desire, I may opt for the C-172N instead!
