my post referencing CAR 41 was in response to your question:
Does “a clear reading” of any regulation amongst the thousands of pages of civil aviation regulations answer that question? Not that I can see.
As has been said before, the Schedule 5 is not to be used in isolation.
But I trust you understand my financial and safety interest in pressing for mandatory maintenance to be based on science and data rather than intuition and folklore
You as the registered owner/operator can apply for an alternative method of compliance through your local AWI, as long as you can substantiate it with all the real data and science that you have.
