Take a look at THE LOOP February issue and you will see an artical on engineering. the head of maintenance regulation and policy at the CAA is quoted as saying "It's likely to increase costs because the Sub-part G approval, which is the equivalent to the current M3 approval, is a more formal approval."
The bottom line is that the EASA approval system is going to have the maintenance companys pushing more paper around before the aircraft leaves the hangar.
The flight safety value of this extra paperwork is a big fat ZERO as none of the money spent on it puts new parts on an aircraft or pays a man with a torch and a mirror to inspect the aircraft.
It's now time for a radical re-think of light aircraft maintenance regulation to produce less paperwork and release more of the GA industrys cash to maintain the aircraft rather than push paper around.
Time to write to your MP's guys !.
