Apparently, not allowed as the AD does not specify that suitably trained members of aircrew can carry out the inspection therefore only quailified engineers only. As the AD has been issued through EASA.
From the boys in the Belgrano it would need the industry and owners to collectively gang up on them to try and push for a national deviation to the AD.
This is going to be a on going nightmare for operators and owners. With Eurocopout failing to give direction on a cure.
