But "periodically" means every 6500 takeoffs and landings.
That seems like an awful long time between inspections. I don't know how often international flights takeoff and land, but the interval might be decades.

My dad's B-17 was scrapped after 30 some missions for being flying junk, or around 300 hours.
For comparison, the Boeing 757 was designed to fly around 65,000 hours, for comparison. A car is designed to run for 3,000 hours or so. Your car is very poorly made compared to an airplane :-)
