A and C,
You just do not get it.
If a person is competent, then that is it.
There are quite a few licensed engineers that I would not call competent.
I like the way you are inventing work for yourself.
Perhaps it is the CAA's fault for asking you to produce things that toy should have had all along.

Malcolm,
You need to read the requirements again. Even those CAT operators who operate several fleets do not have to go through all that.
The BMAA does not require duplicate inspections. It does recomend them in certain cases.
If I want to I can take the wing off a microlight and dismantle the wing, put it on a trailer, travel to a field in the middle of nowhere reassemble the wing and put the wing back on the aircraft then go flying. I can do that solo with no contact with any other person and the permit to fly remains valid.
Regards,
DFC
