jxkWhy couldn't owners be asked what kind of maintenance organisation they would like? I assume that owners will still be ultimately responsible for seeing that their aircraft is airworthy. AND, if I were a Part G (nuts & bolts) I would expect the Part F to put their signature on the work as it will be them who decides what should done.
Actually I think you are misreading the rules..... All the part F does is releases the Aircraft back to service and determines the minimum requirements of that work...... they neither carry out the survey as such or sign for the work carried out on the aircraft, the simply oversee and manage the check.... true they may clear it after inspecting it and issue the ARC, but the Licenced Engineer that has signed for the work under Part G is still ultimately responsible for the work he has carried out. And that is where the buck will eventually stop... so regardless of what the part F maintenance company says, I would never sign an aircraft off I was not personally 100% with.
