No flights have any sort of 'design' to enable them to be completed before maintenance is required. It's all down to pilot care/skill as to how many cycles are achieved between maintenance requirements. An aircraft is able to be maintained at any airport but it will be unavailable for 24 hours. With planning and r/l commitments, this will not necessarily cause any inconvenience to a pilot. Pilots should take a note of the rate of % status before and after each flight so that they may be able to better judge how long they can make an aircraft 'last' between maint'.
