If your aircraft is an ELA1 type in the uncontrolled environment then the ARC has to be done by a CAMO every three years. With two extensions by a part 66 engineer.
Part M works like this:
Sub part F wields the spanners & spare parts,doing the actual and real work on the aircraft.
Sub part G wields a pen and manages paperwork relating to ADs, SBs, life limited items, maintenance manual, logbooks, contracts with owners, and fees for work that has no real safety value whatsoever.
Sub part I checks the paperwork done by sub part G and generates it's own pile of new paperwork including fees for owners.
The CAA charge all of them fees for doing the paperwork, and fees for giving them approval to do the paperwork. The CAA also generate their own paperwork which they require all the other organisations to use, and of course the CAA charge them all a fee for using the paperwork which it has generated.
this system stinks!
