A non-EASA aircraft registered in the United Kingdom for which a certificate of airworthiness is in force and which is a commercial air transport aeroplane or a public transport or aerial work aircraft must not fly unless there is in force a certificate of maintenance review.

A certificate of maintenance review means a certificate which certifies the date on which the last maintenance review of an aircraft required by an approved maintenance schedule was carried out and the date when the next such review is due.

A certificate of maintenance review must be issued in accordance with article 26.

A maintenance schedule approved under paragraph (2) must specify the occasions on which a review must be carried out for the purpose of issuing a certificate of maintenance review.

In approving a maintenance schedule the CAA may direct that certificates of maintenance review relating to that schedule, or to any part of the schedule specified in the direction, may be issued only by the holder of such licence as is specified in the direction.
