I expect that 99% of all UK single engined Cessnas are maintained to the light aircraft maintenance program. CAP766
Section 2
The undersigned (owner/operator) undertakes to ensure that the aircraft will continue to be maintained in accordance with the program section 3 responsibilities and standards.
Non compliance will invalidate the c of a.
Signed for/on behalf of the owner operator
Section 3
Overhaul, Additional inspections and test periods
shall be those recommended by the type certificate holder (Cessna ) or STC holder.
(Note use of the word recommended not the word mandated)
Instructions for continued airworthiness
consist of inservice data published by the type cert holder in maintenance manuals, bulletins, letters e.t.c.
Looks fairly clear to me as this is part of the maintenance manual failure to comply invalidates your C of A.
If you own or operate you signed to say you accept this program and content.
