It is curious that I have been told by a LAME, a very good friend of mine that in order to legally do pilot maintenance on my aircraft I need to do it in conjunction with a maintenance organisation where I have done a basic course and have my name on a list stating such.
I wonder if he and Connedrod both have the same AWI? Anyway, my name is not on his or anyone else "list" and I am happy to do the stuff on the "pilots maintenance" list without this fabled course. Private hangar of course! My friend, as always is very helpful if I get stuck.
