You keep referencing ‘your time’ and it leads me to believe it was a long time ago indeed. You may have missed the fact that in 2008 all non-Annex II Sailplanes transitioned onto the G-Register, with all the associated EASA paperwork. If you’ve ever issued an ARC you will know that it requires the signatory to declare that the aircraft has been maintained to the letter or the law, with all maintenance, repairs or modifications fully documented and approved.
