Vag277,
With the way CASA are going, I am certain all will be revealed soon enough.
What would be your reaction if you were ramped, and got an RCA/NCN/whatever it is called now, grounding you Experimental or AABA aircraft, because some or all of the basic airframe did not conform to that standard that would apply to an aircraft produced under a production certificate, effectively to ICAO Annex VIII standards.

And, once again, proposed new maintenance "rules" for light aircraft ignore the requirements for Experimental Amateur Built --- CASA simply refuse to amend the applicability clause to exclude Experimental Amateur Built, as was intended in 1998.

--- curious what is planned to constitute a replica warbird under 132?
AndyRR,
The "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and flies like a duck" CASA discretionary classification standard, contrary to law, but since when did that worry CASA too much, see the first part of this post.

Tootle pip!!
