I'm a contractor flying public use aircraft that the Army owns. The contractors that operate these aircraft are governed by the Government organization that has contracted them and I guarantee you at a minimum they are required to have at least a commercial license with an instrument rating and have a couple thousand hours weather having a license is a requirement or not. The military has it'sits own systems for assuring airworthiness which the contractors are contractually required to follow. Unfortunately most of the managers in these contracting companies dont realize that they dont have to follow FAA maintenance requirements and they end up following a bastardized system that is a combination of both military and FAA. This has a tendency to confuse both the prior military maintainers and the A&P mechanics that only know FAA. This dilemma is partially because the parts on the aircraft that have a civilian counter part, like the UH72 and the EC145, have to be maintained IAW FAA directives for the components requiring rebuild to go back into the supply system.
