Thanks all who have responded before.
QA1 – I am only interested in GA so EASA and Annex II light aircraft and gliders on a combination of CofAs and Permits. I am also only talking about testing installed equipment so component maintenance isn’t a consideration.
LME – There are definitely still guys out there doing freelance work so whether they have found a loop hole or are working under some legacy arrangement I don’t know but obviously if I ask the local guy, self preservation will prevent him detailing how he does it. I am already a member of a Part M Sub F organisation but don’t currently do this range of tasks within that organisation and they look after predominately gliders anyway. I’m guessing the glider part would be fairly easy after a chat with the guy in charge; it is the other GA that has got me beat at this time.
