Minor thread drift but along the same lines. (Mods move if you want)
For interest we take our aircraft (Biz Jet) to a maintenance company in Germany, Nuremburg. We have been informed that EU regulations will require an Airport issued Pass if the crew visit more than 5 times a year -- but going in and out of the Hangar even for lunch counts as one visit! On-Line training course followed by a verbal talk plus a "Letter of Good Behavour" i.e. a Criminal record check from the UK police. All to get to your own A/C, unescorted, during an inspection. We are assuming this will only be valid for the one airport. We'll see what happens!
