hi,

i have a 747-300SR and a c check must be done next month.
all my a/c have above 90% condition.

sometimes, when i buy used planes, the condition is 60-70%.

aren't they doing any A/B/C/D checks and are these checks a must in this game ?
what can happen in the game if i do not do any checks ????

i ask this, because i do not understand why some used planes are in a real bad condition......

greetings
thomas

ps: have a nice weekend aviators  :D

You must complete A, B, C and D checks periodically otherwise your aircraft may be grounded by the authorities. This will result in you getting a large fine and your Company Image will also be reduced quite significantly.

do you have an example of the large fine and the timeframe they ground the a/c ?

Sorry I don't quite know what you are asking for?  :-\

To clarify, you must build A checks and B checks in to your aircraft schedule. A checks will be completed weekly and B checks monthly (last week of the month).

C checks are annual and you can set the system to do them automatically (that is default setting actually). D checks are every 8 years and they also are set to take place automatically.

If you fail to complete checks and continue to fly your aircraft, your aircraft may be grounded, your airline fined and you image will be reduced.

What I've read in other threads:

$900.000-2.5 Million fine
ground until check is done
up to -30CI with failed C-Check, A and B Check cause not such a big drop (5 points maybe)

I once had a 200k fine when I flew with an expired A check and I also suffered -3 CI. You won't get penalized as soon as it expires though, but don't prolong it.

i've got away having flights run for weeks without checks and getting away with it, and another time i forgot to schedule an A check and 1 day later i got fined

I went on vacation one week, no internet available. Missed about 10 C-checks and that caused about 3 aircraft grounded, and also the bankruptcy of my airline. So, do not skip your C-checks ;)
