We've just been contacted by our MO to be told that the CAA are insisting that the maintenance manuals should be on site for our old aircraft. According to the leader of our group the CAA are insisting these manuals have to be in English, although the only versions available are in French or German.
We have contacted EASA and they say there is nothing in the regs to say that the manuals have to be there at all. All that is required is a tailored maintenance programme.
Looks like the old joke
EU Regulations
Drafted in Brussels
Read in Germany
Smiled at by the French
Laughed at by the Italians
and
Gold plated and vigourously enforced by the British
