OK so.......
Thanks for that Rigga.
Still not too sure though. It is making me wonder if I am wasting my time!?
I have only spoken to one of the engineers and he is extremely busy. He has just finished an annual and was removing an engine from another warrior. He did let it out that he has to get a mate to sign off any C of As but I am still not too sure about the whole setup. He is reluctant to answer too many questions about licenses but is extremely busy and does not seem too concerned about the fact that he has no license at all. He is running an M3 company which he bought from a retired engineer.
The engine builder told me the CAA does not issue the type of license he has now but that you no longer need one. All you need is premises and as soon as the CAA approves your premises ...... that's it! You are in business!!! If this is correct then what on earth is the point of going through all the grief and time of passing exams and getting certified? If I understand it correctly, you still may not be able to do a C of A once you pass the test and get your license....?
Any advice or pointers appreciated.
