AN LAME,
But we are going to have to agree to disagree on the Transit Inspection.
No probs!
Annex 6 Part 1 Chapter 4.3.2 states that thepilot must be satisfied that the aircraft is airworthy. To determine airworthiness, an inspection must be carried out. 'Inspection' is a maintenance function and must be carried out by an appropriately qualified Annex 1 person. But you know all that and I'm sure are ready with a reply to state your psotion on the other side of the argument.
I won't worry about it. We went through the details last time, and as mentioned earlier, we agree to disagree.
PS Have you got a URL for the Audit report?
It took me a while to find the link again (damn CASA website, very un-userfriendly!) but here it is.
ICAO Audit report
Apoglogies for the delay in responding, I had trouble finding the link and I had aircraft to turn-around!
Cheers Mate!
GTG!
