It has absolutely nothing to do with where I have previously or am currently working and as I said if it worth following then I will follow it entirely alone......Not some new 145 xyz org touting for business so let's put that one to bed straight away.
I am not proposing to carry out an annual before an annual, as I said a glorified check "A" would give a good indication of what to expect and only that no more, no less. This is only a very small part of what I am thinking, it is more the liason and independant balanced opinion. It would not be my place to supersede the 145 certifying guys it however would be my place to give personal attention and care whilst the machine is in for maintenance.
Once a machine is placed under my care then I would have a thorough working knowledge of that machine anyhow and wouldn't need to be all over it like a rash every day, it is more predicting,monitoring, assessing mandatory & non-mandatory req's, keeping the Maint programme sweet and taking care of or hopefully preventing the engineering headaches. How many maintenance companies provide true out of hours cover for the private owner ? Wouldn't it be lovely when a problem crops up any time of day or night just to make one call and then it is left to be sorted in the best way possible without any further need for worry.
