PS: If Part 42/145 is applied to Part 135 aircraft, as is currently proposed, that will be another large slab of GA eliminated.
Folks,
The intent of this comment was general, requiring something like a Cessna 206 used on Part 135 to be maintained under a Part 42/145 system will be a quantum leap in already high Australian mainteance costs, without any demonstrable risk reduction (safety) benefits.
Small maintenance outfits should be on the threatened species register, no small maintainer can afford the cost of establishing a Part 145 shop, let alone find customers who can afford the necessary rates to sustain the additional costs.
Thorny,
You should know by now that the CASA policy of "We're not happy 'till your not happy" is not just a BBA joke.
Tootle pip!!
PS: That AC 43.13.1A is no longer with us is noted.
