After 28th Sept 2010 I will no longer be able to release my own annuals, but by that time a number of French CAMOs will be up and operating offering ARC/CEN renewals at a fraction of the current rip off UK fees.
Presumably these firms will be able to do G-reg planes also?
however a CAMO has to be certain of the facts, and most are not prepared to risk overlooking someone else's mistake
So what has changed since the previous regime, under which an Annual was always done on trust? One has to do work on trust, otherwise you would take the whole plane apart at every Annual, checking every part for having been illegally changed in between Annuals.
