RAF gnd ops and EU Ops 1
 

Hi all,

I have been asked a question about the above. With Air Tanker soon to start ops at BZZ, what problems would there be with combining the provisions regarding Flt / Gnd / Trg ops within a civil document (EU Ops 1) to fit the military application (with current RAF regs) and therefore achieve the associated approvals ? Or is this a case of chicken and egg, or (err) egg and chicken :confused:

Any views or opinions would be appreciated or direction to a relevant document.

Thanks in advance,

A big plus point engineering wise is that at work has to be signed off by an experience tradesman. Experienced meaning at least 1 years(probably more to gain a licence in civil companys) hands on workThis mean's that SEngO's and JEngO's will have no engineering authority!!! YEEEHARR! No more longwinded explanations to vacant looking JEngO's and Bollox SEngO dictats.....:ok:

The aircraft would have to be Certified Release to Service by a B1 or B2 licensed LMCT with type rating and AirTanker (as the AOC and PART 145 maintenance org) company approval. AirTanker will have their MEL and CDL for the "limitations" and "ADF's" (that will not be called them anyway). RAF enginnering as to the JAP100 just will not exist with these aircraft.

The RAF will fly them (possibly to EASA Ops), but it will not fix them to the way the present AT fleet is maintained!
