New Maintenance Programme for ELA1 aircraft
Annual is due in a month or so, and understand I should declare a new maintenance programme (either Minimum Inspection Programme or Manufacturers Recommendations) as aircraft is under 1200kg - and CAA recommends doing at next annual before January 2017.
My engineer is currently on holiday, so can't discuss yet, so can the team help? Have the CAA actually given maintenance organisations decent guidance yet, or is it all a bit too new yet? If any one has done one, how easy? And is there a cost from CAA to apply for their approval?

Do you have to "apply" for ELA1 maintenance? As far as I understood it is an owner declaration only brought to attention to the authorities, but not subject to any validation procedure?

The CAA page on MIP

Thanks for comments, I'd read the first two docs but not the third which is rather plainer language.
Sounds simple and with no obvious cost, but will still need discussion with engineer. Real question was has anyone already switched and was it simple? And is there any real advantage to new rules versus the old?
