Just how thick are you? or is it you are on some anti-mantenance company agenda?
All the extra approvals are needed JUST TO DO THE WORK THAT AN M3 COMPANY IS DOING AT THE MOMENT! not anything extra.
Why should the maintenance companys have to take the hit just so EASA and the CAA can employ more people to push paper that had very little to do with safety.
The fact is it will encourage the low end of the business to cut corners.
we have been on this project for about 18 months and the reason for all the paperwork it that EASA keeps moving the goalposts, just a few weeks or so back they published LAMP to replace LAMS...................yet another paperwork re-hash to pander to EASA if you are an aircraft owner you will get a CAA LTO on the subject soon.
