“so will some of us owners, or we'll move to the Permit route.”
Just completed my annual permit renewal. Bits, inspection and LAA paperwork came to about £300 all in and the LAA turned the paperwork around in 2 working days.
Is it true that aircraft which qualify for ELA 1 / EASA permit will have a very light touch Part M with extensive user maintenance and the LAA inspectors signing the work off? The first factory built aircraft conforming to the new rules are just arriving, so it will be interesting to see how it all works.
