N744PS's next inspection falls in the same two weeks as other aircraft's.

N744PS flew 19% of the fleet's hours, and the others are due within days of it, so they could all be down at once.

Ideas schools in this spot often explore

  • Bringing one inspection forward a few days so the aircraft aren't down at the same time.
  • Whether the shop can take two aircraft in the same week, and how long each would take.
  • Which bookings fall in those weeks and could move to other aircraft.

Ideas, not recommendations. Your situation may differ.
