“they will still need to comply with ADs lifed items ”
I was under the impression that that decision was still to be made – LAA inspectors have wide latitude to allow use on condition. The fatigue meter is also being reviewed. I am not saying things will change, but it is still possible. There is a lot of scare mongering about as a small number of individuals want to continue to hire their aircraft out and it is in their interests that as many owners as possible stay on cofa to share the TRA cost. As regards fitting Garmin 430’s there are much more capable uncertified kit available for 1/4 of the price which can now be fited.
