Having ploughed my way though this thread I am even more convinced that Part M is a potential disaster for General Aviation in terms of certificated light aircraft not in Annex II.
Malcom's intial post was a real breath of fresh air that brought the whole Part M house of cards bureaucracy into perspective on a grotty Christmas Eve here at home with a lousy cold.
As far as I know we still await the CRD on the responses made to Part M last autumn. The grapevine seemed to indicate a huge weight of informed opinion that the watering down of Part 145 has proved an utter waste of time and totally inappropriate for general aviation type maintenance. Furthermore that any implementation date should be deferred way beyond September 2008.
Thank the Lord our aircraft is operated on the basis of a PFA administered permit to fly with all the huge benefits in cost that implies in terms of continued maintenance.
Cheers,
Reaper 69
