so, once again - why do the UK CAA not borescope the a/c of operators that have been regularily flying over the duration of the ban ?? as Bruce states, relatively cheap and should yield a conclusive answer as to whether any damage occurs over a sustained period or whether it is perfectly safe ?
Becuase the CAA has no authority to do so on foreign registered aircraft overflying UK airspace.
Then, the CAA doesnt have the equipment or the capacity to do so.
Then, Ok they scope the engine, then what ?
It's the A&P that signs it off, he's regulated by the authority, but it's
his a$$ that he signing off on a Form 1.
