The way the Maintenance Manual is written, it makes it problematical to do even the most simple tasks. It requires a LSA Maintenance License or better to do nearly anything, including many things that one could legally do as Preventive Maintenance under Part 91.
My annual is due in December. This would be an opportunity to have that inspection count as the inspection required by a DAR to convert from an SLSA to an ELSA.
I am seriously considering it, so I can do more of my own maintenance. I do not rent or instruct in the plane, nor do I intend to do so. I also am not overly concerned with resale value, since I plan on keeping the plane a long time.
In addition, the manufacturer (3i) is technically in some sort of Italian bankruptcy. They are currently supporting the Sky Arrow, but going forward its not at all certain they'll be able to continue doing so.
Has anyone done this - gone from SLSA to ELSA? Are there any other downsides I haven't considered?
Thanks in advance.
