Maintenace in Europe with South African standards?

[Alexander Pichler]

Hi guys,

we are trying to sell a German registered Piper Seneca II to South Africa, to get it registered there on ZS. The aircraft is currently on an AOC in Germany and maintenance is carried out according to part 145.

The question we all have now, is if it will pass the South African standards. I do believe so that it does, because it is in an AOC here and Part 145 maintained.

Does anyone of you know a way how to find out, if it can pass the South African standards? Is there anywhere in Europe, best would be in Germany a maintenance that can carry out checks according to South African standards?

Please let me know and thanks in advance.

Hi there Alexander,

the only thing that i can suggest is to talk to Jet Aviation in Basel, they do work on ZS aircraft and just maybe they can give you information.
