PeteMc Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 End of the month. When I first got my plane the Annual was in the middle of the summer. So I'd drop it of withing the last few days of the month so even if they got me in and out quickly, I'd still move a month. Finally got it to March which works great for me schedule and there were usually lots of good flying days so I didn't have to worry about getting it to the mechanic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now at late January to early February. It will go back around on me soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinecone Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I am jumping mine forward from December (annoying for holiday trips) to about March or April. But being helped by major avionics upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't keep moving mine any more. I get that you can get a "13 month" annual if you bring it in the last days of the month every time. For me it was getting it in a month I wasn't flying a lot anyway and it definitely was out of the prime warmer Wx months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinecone Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Understand. Have to balance the ability to get it to the shop to not missing good flying weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubcap Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 I am moving mine to February this year, so Myrtle goes in 3 weeks for annual. February is usually pretty poor for flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
