Yes, well, don't hold yor breff for that.......maybe it will, maybe it won't.
To quote, unforgiveably, from my own post....
there's a lot more bureaucracy surrounding NPA 2015-08 as EASA ties itself in knots.....blah blah blah
Here's an extract from EASA's presentation;
NPA 2015-08 published on 09 July 2015:
Proposed a Light Part-M with certain features which may interface with NPA 2015-17. In particular:
Created as a new Part-ML (new Annex VI to Regulation 1321/2014). Organisation requirements (CAMO, Subpart F organisations) kept in Part-M.
Applicable to all ELA2 aircraft plus those helicopters certified for up to 4 occupants up to 1200 Kg MTOM, regardless of type of operation.
Owners/operators can choose to apply Part-M or Part-ML.
Airworthiness review by maintenance organisations together with the annual/100h inspection.
Airworthiness review by independent mechanics together with the annual/100h inspection for sailplanes, balloons, hot-air airships and ELA1 aeroplanes.
The presentation also says that the Opinion and the CRD for NPA 2015-08 will both be published in March 2016. I take leave to doubt that. But if I'm wrong, it will come into force about 3 weeks later. Let's be positive and hope. The problem is that phrase "interface with NPA 2015-07" when that NPA needs serious redrafting before even going out to consultation.
Isnt't it odd how you cannot separate bureaucrats from their pet projects. How did we ever manage without an Airworthiness Review to go with the Annual /100 hour inspection?
