I have decided to go N reg.
Sorting out a trust now and engineer to issue the CofA.
I fear that under EASA light GA (non permit) is going to be hunted to extinction. Even if I get a few more years out of it on the N Reg it will be worth it.
As a comparison, under EASA I am facing:
Prop Overhaul for a prop that has 700 hours on it from new.
Mag overhauls because they are over 500 hours
Vac pump replacement at 500 hours
Seat belts replacing as they are 10 years
Static lines replacing
None of those items has any problems at all, they all work perfectly on condition. So why do I need to spend nearly £7k to throw perfectly good kit away?
