railroaded through????????
your kidding right??????
this has been in the works since before i came to this country 7 years ago
Canada has had it since mid 90s (easa was the joint aviation authority at the time) and it works damn fine
keep in mind it is meant to be used in conjunction with part 42,145 and part 147
experienced engineers and informed engineers are usually 2 totally different things
time to catch up with the rest of the world - kicking and screaming if neccessary
and ALIDAD have you actually read the regulations????? don't sound like it- you still need to hold a casa issued license and type ratings to certify a return to service at the bare minimum (not withstanding the requirements the company you work for may add when 145 comes into effect) that part makes the immigrant on the 457 visa ineligible
145 organizations are going to have to have an operations manual call it engineering procedures manual, MCM, or even a technical operations and control manual (tocum) they are all the same - an APPROVED manual that must be adhered to or you pay penalties, this manual will cover anything and everything- from what aircraft data is approved for use - to requirements for an individual to to be issued a certification authority - to how the aircraft paperwork is filled out - and the internal audit procedure to make sure that all the 'stuff' in the approved manual is actually being done as per - i can go on ad infinitum
i have worked at a major airline using this system and it works well, read the rules and remember there are the laws (what you will do) and the standards (how you will do it) they go hand in hand
