Fuji,
It will not have any effect on my maintenance. As owner, I am responsible for ensuring the continued airworthiness of the aircraft. That will not change. I will manage the maintenance to meet the private requirements and will contract the maintenance organisation to carry out the required maintenance.
This is the private pilot forum and we are talking about private aircraft on private level C of A's / maintenance reviews.
We already have the LAMS which the CAA (the appropriate authority) will approve or you can use the Cessna Care programme (or similar) if you like and have that approved.
As owner, I get all the service bulletins and letters as well as the AD's which you can check on the FAA and EASA and NAA websites also.
If my aircraft needs a 100 hour check, I will book it in and have it done. No big change there.
If my aircraft was on an AOC or otherwise commercial flying (note according to EASA club flying, group flying and flight training are not public transport) and there is no limit on the number of members in a group.

A and C,
One of the reasons why you have so much paperwork to do is because you have to tell how you intend for example to establish and ensure the competence of all personnel involved in each area.
You should be aware that the authority will no longer check that a licensed engineer has recent experience before renewing their licence. It is up to the organisation providing the maintenance to ensure that the certifying staff have the appropriate experience and are current.
The authority will perform spot checks but even for the licernsed certifying staff, it is up to the organisation and not the authority to confirm that everything is done as it should.
You try telling a NAA (or me as a customer) in your manual that you will use the tea boy for a duplicate inspection and you a) will not get approval and b) will not get any business from me.
OK so people can write one thing in a manual and do something else in practice. That has been going on in the UK for years with unlicensed people doing maintenance that is later signed for by a licensed engineer. The amount of checking being up to how risk adverse the engineer is.

Malcolm,
The only time the BMAA require a duplicate inspection is when doing a mod.
To have it any other way, one could not unfurl the wing, rig and attach it to the trike, fit the training bars and then depart on a paid for trial lesson from the farmer's field behind the customer's house.
