Flight Manuals
By NEW, I mean the one that had to be "written" to comply with the new CASA requirements. (there was not one previously provided by the mfgr)
The aircraft was delivered new with one of those little black flight manuals that everyone had. That was it.
The NEW manual written now casa say has to reflect the aircraft when it was built. However if it has since been modified to such an extent that it is no longer the aircraft that it was built as then the NEW flight manual does NOT reflect the a/c as it is now. This data is buried in section 9 IN ADDITION to all the data that is no longer relevant.
If having two sets of data in a flight manual you consider safe, that’s fine, but I certainly don’t.
The potential for confusion is unacceptable.
