I’m looking to dive back into the ‘C of A’ world for the first time since I sold my 172 about 15 years ago. Since then I’ve been operating PtF aircraft.
I can’t find anywhere online that gives a good summary on the current maintenance system, so I have some some questions.
1. The old C of A system was an annual check and a Star Annual every three years. What’s the new regime (and terminology) these days?
2. What’s the current rules on what used to be Private and Public category C of A?
3. What’s the current rules on engine age and times? Is on condition still allowed?
4. I read somewhere that an aircraft has to remain with the same maintenance firm. Is that really correct?
Thanks

Never criticise a man until you’ve flown a mile in his loafers.
