My maintenance organisation seems to be continually being 'buggered around' by the continual stream of 'new' material from CASA, our supposed 'regulator', who are imposing more and more 'paperwork duties' onto what has been for the last couple of decades, a competent and efficient maint. organisation.
This has led to, and is continuing to lead to, more and more time taken in 'paperwork' duties to satisfy the regulator without ANY improvement in the safety case for either the LAMEs concerned, or for me as an aircraft owner.
This has lead to increase costs to me - for NO APPARENT reason at all.
My aircraft is 'vintage' requiring some skills not found in as many shops as they used to be....fabric work etc. and older 'vintage' engines.
And, I do NOT NEED 'different' categories of maintenance....
It does not have to maintained to an 'airline' standard -
its either fixed and is airworthy, or it is NOT (??) !!
I would venture that this is just the start of your 'enquiry'.
Go print that!!
No Cheers, Nope, None At All...!!
