Hi everyone,
I'm glad to see that the GA community is starting to wake up to Part M and continuing airworthiness in general.
I am the Continuing Airworthiness Manager for a new stand alone Part M Subpart G organisation. We are in the process of gaining Part M Subpart G approval with our local CAA office with Subpart I (ARC certification) coming later.
Having gone through the pain of compiling the CAMO/CAME and adding a private owner of a Cessna 172 as a test customer, there is a huge amount of work in establishing aircraft onto an approved database, with quite a few gaps in documentation required by Part M which the owner cannot supply, such as damage/repair reports and form 1's for rotable components.
I can see a reasonable amount of compromise being struck between owners and the CAA over Part M, otherwise there will be a lot of privately owned aircraft for sale next year with the associated reduction in income stream for the CAA.
I look forward to your responses.
