the maintenance release may work in a commercial environment with multiple pilots using the aircraft.
but in a privately owned aircraft flown only by the owner....
I discontinued the use of maintenance releases after the lame faked the annuals that led to them being issued.
what use is a maintenance release after an "administrative annual"????
the reality is that the regulations have only ever seemed to work in Australia because they were never enforced.
I looked at the implications of doing a circuit.
pull out of the hangar and check the aircraft over, close the hangar doors and startup.
penalty for starting too close to a building.
penalty for not using a maintenance release.
taxy out to the grass runway and takeoff on the runway the aircraft has been flown from for 25 years.
penalty for violating the manual's requirement to use a runway one hundred feet longer.
complete the circuit and land on the grass runway.
penalty again for using a runway shorter than that specified in the manual.
there were about 6 other penalties I identified but I won't detail those.
CASA your safety regime is a crock of pony poo.
if your belligerence makes me into a criminal, beware, I'll be a really talented one.
I'm fed up with fckwit LAME's and their bull****.
I'm fed up with your bull****.
if you don't learn and don't stop all the criminal bollocks its your necks.
