Well the current LAMS, (I wont go into LAMPS as I dont understand it fully yet) says in section 5 page ""certification of maintenance-non commercial air transport""
Defined as aircraft operated without an AOC.
Annual inspection may be certified by the holder of a UK AMEL or Jar 66 licence.
Star inspection must be completed under the supervision of an approved organisation.
The wording was changed a number of years ago to remove the statement that it had to be carried out at the premises of an approved organisation. I reckon the change was made about 7-8 years ago.

Being a sad git I just do what the approved maintenace schedule tells me to do!!!!!!!!!!
