EASA light aircraft maintenance.
I read elsewhere that from 27/7/15 lighter touch maintenance requirements introduced initially for EL1 ,up to 1200Kg MTOW aircraft.
To be based on manufacturers recommendations. For example Cessna require minimum 100 hr check cycle not 50.( as would be the case if N reg in UK) Mandatory 6 years prop overhaul not required on some props. Hose replacement on condition etc.
The LAA following developments as presumably would not want more onerous requirements than EASA C of A recommendations.
EL2 class aircraft up to 2000kg MTOW to follow within the year hopefully.
A step in the right direction to reduce the light aircraft cost burden in EASA land.
