Lams
 

does any body know if it is possible to download a copy of LAMS ? i have searched the caa site till i am sick of looking !also an aircraft on public transport the annual has to be done by a licenced engineer at an approved maintenance company but if on private cat can it be just a licenced guy and not through a maintance company?

LAMS CAP411 is not currently available for download from the CAA web site and has to be bought from documedia.

As for the engineer, it does not have to be via a maintenance organisation for a private cat a/c but you will need an engineer(s) licenced AND type rated in the appropriate categories (A/C and R)

A visit to your local M3 maintenance company should secure you a copy of the LAMS worksheets.

Beware, if you are new to the a/c make sure you research it's history and don't get caught out with any inspections or overhauls due. Extensive cross reference to FAA AD's (if of US origin) and manufacturers SB's will need to be carried out which is why it may still be best to go via a maintenance organisation, where they will have all the pertinant information to hand.

You can buy a copy of LAMS here too
