Sorry, but the engine is by no means a wear item, or do you replace the engine in your car every 100,000 km because it is worn out? If the engine wears out, then there is something seriously wrong. I would like to know if the entire engine of a Cessna or any aircraft with a combustion engine needs to be replaced. What needs to be done is constant maintenance and replacement of the operating fluids and filters. But as I said, something can always break. For example, engine failure due to a blocked oil line. But that has nothing to do with wear and tear. Even a jet engine is not completely replaced because it is worn out. Jet engines are replaced for maintenance purposes because parts wear out, such as the blades.
It is also completely fine for something to wear out more because it is subjected to greater stress, such as the undercarriage with the wheels and the brakes. It’s no different with a car. If I’m constantly driving at full speed and slamming on the brakes at every traffic light, the brakes wear out quicker. And the tire tread wears down quicker. No problem.
And what exactly wears out on the electronic devices? Why do I constantly have to replace the radios, navigation devices, etc. with new ones? Completely absurd. My computer has been running for 10 years without me having to replace anything. But here too, something can always break. But it doesn’t have to be replaced all the time.
Why do I have to replace the control surfaces with new ones??? What exactly wears out on the control surfaces??? I don’t constantly fly through sandstorms that require sandblasting the surfaces. What needs to be replaced are the wire cables.
The way the maintenance system is at the moment, is it like buying a completely new machine every few days? I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands I’ve had to spend on maintenance. An engine for the Diamond DA62 alone costs 164,000 Cr. Times 2, that’s 328,000 Cr. A wire rope for the control surfaces costs 59,000 Cr. 59,000 Cr??? And so on, and so on.
