problem i see, is how do you overhaul parts when required to do it iaw the Bell manuals?? as a clever auditor will tell you that once the bell part goes to Agusta it is no longer a bell part... and round and round in circles you go!

believe me i have been there when trying to comply with 2 different things that contradict themselves...

You have identified the never ending issue that exists with the licence built Agusta machines that utilize other references for specific functions, including the CR&O and SRM. I think JTobias is offering some very good free advice, unless you have access to a bunch of applicable spare AB parts and components.

This all rather makes the AB206 sound like a valueless unmaintainable liability in most jurisdictions, that can however be operated in NZ (and Australia?) legally.

Send 'em down we'll take them off your hands for a small payment.

You need to read the details in the post again. You are not in compliance with the conformity requirements for NZ certification if you have non Agusta Bell certified parts installed.

I have no involvement in AB machines any more, nor certification in NZ or Oz, just a passing interest in the Certification aspects. The requirements are clearly specified, in writing, in the above documents.
