In this episode, Joe Casey talks with Kenneth Hale, Director of Maintenance at Casey Aviation Services, to debunk common PA-46 maintenance myths. They discuss parts availability, battery life, annual inspection costs, service bulletins vs. ADs, Part 91 maintenance requirements, the MORE program, M600 wing life concerns, and what buyers should understand before stepping into PA-46 ownership.
