See "Inquiry into the CAA" particularly David Roberts' post.
EASA regulation 1592/2002 part 21 ARC (airworthiness renewal certificate) and particularly the draft Part M of EU regs which applies to light & sport aircraft. Closing date for comments 24th Nov.
The Cosford conference might be a bit behind events!
My own wish list seems to be at least possible now:
All older non EASA aircraft ( Austers, Chipmunks, etc) administered by PFA or equivalent, retaining national registrations. G-C... F-G...
EASA aircraft (Robin, New Piper/Cessna, etc) would have an ARC renewed annually at any JAR 145 organisation in any EU country. These aircraft would have European registration. Eg: E-1234
EU-ABC ?
The bureaucrats will fight this to the death of course, but eventually engineers will be able to practice engineering and owners can concentrate on maintenance not documentation.
