Mike, you are as ever perfectly correct, in that nothing has changed. The fear was a potential future change for those under current PFA and CAA permits. This has been averted for those types mentioned in the CAA document. Annex II relates to aircraft of "military or developmental historical significance" (my words). You seem to be of the opinion that things would have "worked out OK anyway" which they would not have done. These aircraft could in fact be "eligible for a C of A" (your words) if they were inspected, rectified and re-certified to the appropriate standard. (apologies if I have misinterpreted your posts.)
Some of these types, being "factory-supported", might have had to have complied with EASA CofA rules. This could have been of great significance to the owners (such as myself) who operate these types. Remember, the Type Certificates for Taylorcraft, Luscombe, Piper, Aeronca (aka Bellanca) are all in current ownership; this could be construed as "factory supported" by EASA, although we all know that the level of support for these particular types is in fact not actively supported by the TC holders. Some TC's are owned by National Airworthiness bodies, but I know not the significance of this.
Regarding Luscombes, I believe that these were a struggle, because they were never Liaison (L)-types (as for example the L4 Cub), so to get these on is an achievement.
You are also correct that 9A is not changing, but this is not relevant to operators of those currently operating on CAA (and hence PFA) permits.
SS Try going to "publications" in the left column, then search for "747" (CAP 747 being the relevant document).

I do know that Aeroncas are not on it, but I understand PFA Engineering are actively working to achieve this (they were after all a military Liaison type). All the PFA Taylorcrafts, Luscombes are on this list, which is essentially an exemption from EASA CofA rulings, as are I beleive the PFA Cubs and Austers, etc; I know not of the Porterfields, but these are I'm sure being treated with the same importance.
Mono Other matters: I hope your Luscombe has all the spar AD's done.
