The EASA transition is undoubtedly somewhat becalmed, but underlying it all
is a requirement to check a glider's current state and produce a proper
audit trail of all work required and done historically. I assume the
original questions Ian wanted answering related to that. We are at the end
of that 1 year process.

The very fact that any of us has a C of A back from the BGA (of whatever
flavour) means that our inspector is happy and the BGA are happy.

What the BGA calls this on a spreadsheet, and whether the documentation
has been sent to the CAA, is not hugely relevant to me. I really can't
see the CAA bouncing many back to the BGA.

I think the problem is that the whole process hasn't been thought
through to conclusion. As I understand it, nobody has an EASA C of A
yet, no arrangements have been decided for how they will be renewed
(BGA inspectors are not qualified, yet, to do CAA annual inspections)
and maintenence procedures are a complete unknown.
