Many thanks for all the info,
So most corporate aircraft
AFAIK do not require a "Daily by an engineer" it is a check signed off by the pilot-this is my experience also.
However most commercial passenger aircraft require a "Daily by an engineer" again this is my experiance also.
As pointed out it will be given in the maintenance schedule or MPD for the aircraft type.
What I was after is where a Daily by an engineer is required rather than a check by the pilot, or is this down to the company and the interpretation of the maintenance schedule/MPD.
I am interested as we have a corporate fleet that is starting to receive bigger and bigger aircraft types.
Any general CAA/EASA references would be useful.
Many thanks.
