Your suggestion is to outsource it, is it to outsource it to a IAA EASA AOC holder, if so then how do you suggest IAC pilots operate civilian registered aircraft.
Far from arguing the point but it did not and still does not stop them doing HEMS which under EU Ops (read LAW) is a CAT function requiring all of the above.....
It would be great to hear from the civilian contract engineers for Airbus UK and the likes who have won open tender contracts for maintenance of IAC airframes such as police as to some of the issues they have faced or had to repair. It would be great also to read the report from the previously acknowledged AW139 initial ferry flight from Italy across Europe. Has it been published by the ENAC or their accident investigation counterparts?
