Again, the world of aviation seems over complicated. I wonder why it is deemed "safe" for the renewal to be completed in an a/c in the Private category but NOT the initial issue?
Is the a/c subjected to different stresses and stains during initial issue?
Have I missed the point completely, quite possible!
What is the difference? It seems that exemption under certain circumstances leads to strange differences like the one above.
Is the real issue that of protection of professional livelihoods be that Engineer or Instructor (I can understand this as I am a CEng albeit in a different industry), because I cannot see a difference in any safety issues between an initial rating and a renewal when just focusing on the maintenance of the aircraft.
Please can someone explain this if I have missed the point.
Edited because I had consumed too much "Duff" and got it back-to-front.
