You can retain class 'A' maintenance regardless of the weight of the aircraft, especially if the aircraft already is maintained in class 'A' and you already have the maintenance control manuals and approved schedule. I am not wanting to downgrade the equipment in the aircraft, especially if it already has it fitted. More so looking to negate the requirement for the ATPL and second pilot.
I will have a dawdle through the regs and see what they say.
It may be possible to get an exemption if limiting the MTOW through the ops manual and AFM. I would think the ops manual would have to be addressed to make it an operational requirement that the aircraft isn't operated at higher than the approved weight.
I am not looking at using the aircraft as an RPT ship, limiting it to charter only.
