John I have checked out CAAP 42zc-1, as you suggested, makes me think they are even more stupid than I did before
2.1 says the approved mainteneance does not include the use of specalised tooling,
2.2 says if you are using tooling that requires calibration, that it is your responsibility(the pilot) to ensure it is ok
Calibrated tooling would be somewhat specailised would it not?
10 its Ok to replace seat belts. Is this easy and safe compared to removal R22 duals ?
13 Clean and gap spark plugs Gap Plugs ?? sounds safe -- yeah sure -- someone must show you how, but not a MA in sight
23 ii re-termination of radio system plugs, sockets, disconnects
Yep no safety issues there compared to those tricky duals!!
23 iv replace radio system switches, relays etc
there are more examples but you get my drift.
I would just like to ask one thing
Why couldn't duals be part of the pilots license / endorsement training as it is such a fundamental part of his everyday work?
