Just wanted to get a consensus here..
Mandatory Service Bulletins are not "mandatory" for the aircraft owner unless the SB is accompanied by an AD, correct?
Our aircraft has been at the shop, being repaired from an issue over a year ago, still don't have the aircraft back and I got an email from the mechanic yesterday stating this service bulletin has not been complied with and it is mandatory we do it.
I've no issues with complying at this point, there is work being done in the area, let's knock it out, however the mechanic in charge of repairing my aircraft telling me I *have* to comply with this has me wondering if something has changed?
Are mandatory SB's now mandatory to the owner without an AD?
Mel?
