Pretty important if you'd like to do your own maintenance and haven't built the machine:

Folks,
This is really important for the whole of GA, including Part 135, so get into it and make certain CASA doesn't back out.
And, IT IS NOT ABOUT OWNER MAINTENANCE, just maintenance, period, I have no idea where Pontius got the idea that it is about owner maintenance principally, or at all.

Folks,
Amazing, something that is absolutely critical to the future of GA, and nobody has anything to say about it ---- I guess we can leave it all to CASA, they have our best interests at heart --- don't they??
Tootle pip!!

Sunfish,
If it faithfully follows FAR 43 (as CASA claims to do) it will not apply to aircraft other than standard category aircraft.
FAR 43 exempts all Experimental Amateur Built, which will (should) have their own arrangements. If CASA does this (as it originally promised in 1999), it will eliminate on of the big bugbears of Experimental Amateur Built maintenance, the "exemptions" that we have existed under since 1998..
Continuing Airworthiness requirements/maintenance requirements are issued by the delegate who issues the Experimental (or other Special Flight) Certificate.

I went to a CASA briefing today, the proposed model for experimental category is along the lines you suggested Lead, I'm hoping this will be a positive move and get more aircraft up in the air where they belong.

Folks,
Here is something to ponder!!
If I am interpreting the CASA draft correctly, SIDS WILL NOT APPLY to aircraft maintained under the proposed Part 43 --- for exactly the same legal reason as they do not apply to Part 91/43 operations in FAALand.
Indeed, the whole concept of "whatever is in the current manufacturer's MM is mandatory" will be a thing of the past.
This would enable Schedule 5, with a minor amendment, to work properly, as in US, (after all, it is already and always has been FAR 43, Appendix D, almost) as the Annual Inspection schedule.
Tootle pip!!
