Microlights are not part of the EASA system and so should not be included in this thread
They are CAA approved aircraft operated under the CAA oversight and do not need duplicate inspections.
I am not saying that is safe but the CAA does permit aircraft to fly without duplicate inspections. In one case (the Skyranger I mentioned) misrigging resulted in a fatal accident.

I will have to go deep into the books for the EASA duplicate inspection details and I don't have then here now as you won't be happy untill you get this chapter and verse.
But as an Engineer, you should know that without having to look it up should you not. If not then how can you say previously........
What I am tyring to make clear to DFC is EASA Part M only brings lots more paperwork and CAA charges, you don't get is any extra "hands on" maintainence and in the area of duplicate inspections of flying controls and other critical systems the EASA system is a real errosion of safety standards.
(My highlighting)
........When here you say that you do not know what the EASA requirement is.
Clearly a case of EASA bashing or simply trying to make excuses to those pilot that either don't know better or fail to question such claims.
