Then you relize that casa is now full of ex military bring all the 6 poeple to look into a pannel before you put it back on type inspections. They hzve no idea about civilian aviation and now idea about sfa. Funny leadie ex mill and so is gerry. Get the piture yet !
FAA also state a experienced Mech is better than the Manual! but not legal in Australia to use that LAME experience, so while I don't recall reading that in chapter 5 - it was not permitted at my local CASA zone to be "flexible" on the 5 year unless I made the bolts and had my own approval for that.

I'm ex-RAAF and quite proud of that feat. (What were RAAF recruiting thinking?)

I've never met anyone who admits to being Lead Balloon. (I suspect that if I'd worked with him/her, I would have always hated him/her.)

EX RAAF generally leads to 2 things competent or not but with the same tickets! so needs to be worked out.


Willing or not to learn non RAAF stuff and be productive in a commercial environment.

You should learn or remember your own replys. Yes we know your ex raaf. You not replied to my pm after you thought you found out my location. What you think i would have given you that straight up. Drrrrrrrrrr. Shows how untrustworthy you must be ?


As for the manual its legal to do it if you can show what was found. Casa cant go against what the manual states. Only if they bring an AD in to go against it. Other wise the manuals not worth the $20k a year we have to pay to keep them updated.

Yes they can, they can do as they wish, and then get it somehow supported by that doggey legal team.

Have you got the cash to fight them is the correct statement.

I have in an email from a "team leader" from CASA saying that

Not to follow the REGS on the IAW stuff - do it here (against the regs) CASA accepts this as a standard practice.

I am not sure about this. A certification of rectification, in my understanding, has to state reference, values attained etc.
Using cable replacement as our maintenance required you would need to state "replaced IAW manual and chapter, rigging check carried out IAW manual and chapter, degrees of deflection (if applicable) attained, serial number of special tooling used and reference to the CAR 42G inspection. "

CAR 42G is a separate inspection (maintenance task) that needs to be certified for in the same way as applicable.

This bit will need to be changed:-


(f) set out details of the approved maintenance data used to carry out the maintenance; and
* Manufactures of aircraft data

TO



(f) set out details of the approved maintenance data used to carry out the maintenance; and
* I.A.W CASA instructions.

At the risk of interrupting consenting adults enjoying their circle-jerk, has anyone heard any rumours as to the date by which CASA will make a decision whether to issue the proposed amended AD?

Leady history shows these are last minute and even post date announcements.

So with that we can expect announcement last week of December 2017 or 2nd week of Jan 2018.

Given many will have already changed the cables, again a PPE from the regulator.

The amended AD has now been issued, effective 1 November 2017: http://services.casa.gov.au/airworth...EN/GEN-087.pdf

As a result, that which would have been dangerously criminal on 1 January 2018 doesn’t become dangerously criminal until 1 November 2018. That provides an additional 11 months for the various GA representative bodies to get their **** in one pile to get the AD repealed.

Which was precisely what happened with the cables whose terminations failed, thus ‘justifying’ the AD. Signed off as “cables all good”. Back in the air!

From 1 November 2018 it will be even ‘better’: Cables signed off as: “all good”. Bill to aircraft owner: “much bigger”. Safety: “reduced”.

Brilliant!
