If you wanted me to change your UK registered aircraft from LAMP to the manufacturers maintenance schedule I would have to get this approved by the CAA, for this they would charge a large amount of money.

And before any of you say that the manufactures schedule for a European aircraft should be approved already by EASA......... well it is but the CAA won't accept it! We have already had this conversation with the CAA and despite schedule being part of the type certificate They say it is "not approved by them for UK aircraft"

I find this situation ridiculous the CAA is not now much more than a regional office of EASA but they can over rule the manufacturers data, could you ever see the FAA office in Detroit suddenly deciding to over rule the rest of the FAA and publish a different maintenance schedule for a Cessna?
