1. Part M is split into 2 Part ML & Part M

A long time coming Part M one size fits all was not working in the best way so EASA took the initiative and created Part M Light - EASA Part ML (Annex Vb). Part ML is a stripped down version of Part M requirements and is only applicable for private aircraft up to 2730 KGS.

Note 1 other Private Aircraft must follow Full PART M.
