On 28 september 2008 all aircraft will have be contracted to an EASA part M maintenance company to keep your aircraft inside a "controled enviroment", If you are an owner what are you going to do? The three options are as follows.
1 Contract (for three years) the whole maintenance to one company that can do the EASA subpart G supervision and the maintenance.
2 Contract just the subpart G supervision to a company and then this would allow you to switch maintenance companys if you wished during the validity of the ARC if you are not happy with the maintenance company.
3 Do it at yourself at much greater cost by getting the CAA to issue the ARC annualy.
What ever option you take this needs action soon to avoid the unnessesary costs of getting trapped in option 3 by doing nothing.
