From what I understand , the airline must be maintained by a part 145 MRO , and the Qantas CASA approved part 145 rules do not allow for pilot maintenance in any form. Not even for an independent inspection if only 1 lame on station. The devil is in the detail of what is considered maintenance or servicing.
Pilots can check oils on the indicators, fair enough, but if EDTO rules are changed to allow pilots to carry out ETOPS checks, what about the IDG oil and delta p checks required ? Servicing function?? Will you be trained to vent the IDG to get the correct oil level ? Will u have PPE to prevent breathing in MJ2 vapour?
Manufacturer and industry standards do not translate to best practice.
It's good to get an overview of opinions from various departments.
