Wideboy, some of what you say is true, some less so. The New CEO is very well qualified for the position given his past experience and obvious talent for the job. That is my feeling anyway. And I wish him the best of luck
411a - A little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing. Ref dismantelling A/C. The aircraft was JAR ICAA registered. Therefore no FAA representation is required. Even if it were FAA registered you can park an aircraft and remove parts up six months after last flight, as long as you can show servicability and function on the last flight as, servicable as removed. This has been done since Pontious was a pilot.
The Jar work on a similar schedule whereas if you intend for the project to extend beyond this acceptable time frame then you have to write and have accepted a reclamation program. Accepted by the JAR licencing body. Ref JAR 145-50 & 60 leaflet 10 & 11. Even with this in place a lot of components still have to go to shop for Zero timeing.
Anti-Ice, looks like you were right with the guv.
Whiskery, Right on.
