Neil Williams (CAA Airworthiness Strategy and Policy Dept) announced it at the seminar at Sywell last Wednesday. Apparently each aircraft's individual maintenance program will need to be approved by the time of the first AR after April 2012. No more details of how it will work, but he did say to the assembled "this is a business opportunity for you guys" which, as an aircraft owner/operator, sent shivers down my spine!
