IMHO, this will be about as possible as returning an experimental aircraft to Normal Category. While theretically possible, IAs will shy away from this work because of the liability incurred if they miss any work the owner has performed. It will also be far more expensive than a normal annual, so owners will not have this done. > > I'd see no problem with a Type Rated A&P maintained aircraft being used for > compensation or hire -- I'd trust such a rated A&P equal to or higher than (for > the rated aircraft) a generic IA. This is a matter of opinion. I would rather trust an IA in a large shop who inspects 100+ aircraft a year than a type-rated A&P who looks at 10 coupes per year and little else. There is virtually nothing unique about inspecting a coupe.
