Folks,
Schedule 5 is the equivalent of FAR 43, Appendix D, indeed it is a copy. As happens all to often, a few Australianisms were added, inc. para. 2.7, which costs GA dearly.
Schedule 5 is only an inspection schedule, you still need the data, but the MM for most GA aircraft are not comprehensive, you still need additional data. Despite some CASA AWIs not being able to comprehend this little fact, and insisting that any MM is all singing all dancing.
For example, the "data" for corrosion detection and rectification will be found in the relevant FAA AC. See below, FAA AC43-13A/B are now acceptable data, without "CASA approval", or any charges. AC 43.13A/B is the "bible" (except that its a lot bigger than the bible) for maintenance of continuing airworthiness for smaller aircraft.
As a result of CASA Instrument 377/06, CASA is out of the "approved data" business, and aircraft registered operators now have the same choice of data as if you were maintaining an aircraft under FAR 91 and FAR 43.( or JARs for that matter) --- with no CASA charges.
You have CASA's Greg Vaughan to thank for this, but para: 2.7 has got to go, and when it does, it will probably halve Hangar Keepers Liability insurance.
HooRoo for now!!
