SaS,
You obviously have not been following the development of CASR 132, and the sodding around and bastardisation of CASR 21 to fit this completely unneeded and unjustified CASR Part 132.
Amateur built aircraft maintenance licencing regs could possibly be changed but that would need drafting effort by the proponents as the small number of people affected probably results in very low priority.
Vag277,
Another apologist for CASA!! The change was "drafted" and ready for "making" almost
18 years ago ---- mid-1998. And all it was, was a few words (6-8) in the applicability statement, if you want to see the equivalent, have a look at the applicability statement re. non-certified aircraft in FAR 43.
Do you really think having to re-do a legislative instrument every two years is less work, less time, less expense.
It hasn't happened, because the forces in industry and CASA that simply hate any kind of owner maintenance will not let it happen, and live in hope that "CASA" will be finally be pressured into not renewing the instrument, much easier than reversing a regulation. It got too bleeding close with Albo. as Minister.
"Small number of people", too right, just a small number, in the thousands.
Tootle pip!!
