JAR 66 is the Millennium Dome of the aviation industry.
Its expensive. Not needed and an embarassment.
All the time the rail network occupies more column inches than the collapse of aviation. The faceless buerocrats who change systems for change sake purely to justify their own positions are happy.
This is why JAR66 is becoming such a Hydra. Cut one head off by satisfying a requirement and another two grow to replace it. All the time securing more agency jobs. The authority claim "allegedly" that the regulations are open to interpretation? B#ll#cks!!!! Since when has aircraft maintenance been open to interpretation? The regulations need to be concise and transparent.
Of course all the time this is happening the CAA hold onto ever increasing amounts of money while ever increasing numbers of engineers wait for exam dates or renewals.
Perhaps the only way to defeat this is to ignore the requirements (as most of the other member states are)and end up being given one because everything grinds to a halt?
