You all missed what I was saying about searching back, it was in response to the post that you only need to produce a logbook for the last 3 years and that is it. I was trying to show that was not the case.

I heard a while ago that LAMPS may get dropped, it failed in so many ways in my opinion, the main problem was the CAA's desire to be seen as the good guys and keep a version on the go, unfortunately all the baggage that got added made it a pointless exercise, as you cannot simply align the requirements of a 50 50 150 hour regime with a 50 100 50 one, it means you may well end up pulling the thing apart on both the second 50 hr and the 150 hr because the manufacturers manuals require an inspection that you are required to carry out at 100 hrs.

jxk with the hours you do it would not really matter to you as the Annual would fall on the second 50 and would be treated as an annual and not a 50 hr anyway.

A and CI suspect that the CAA refusal to accept EASA approved maintenance Schedules is one of revenue raising and job protection.
Exactly, can anyone tell me why we have Annex 2 aircraft? the only reason they were farmed off in my eyes was for exactly the same reason, it was similar to the MOD situation a few years back where it had to go to the CAA who logged it and then sent it to EASA who actioned it then sent it back to the CAA who logged it as actioned and then returned it back to you........ all that was doing was keeping someone in the loop and hence a job!
