    --> Yak-List message posted by: HodgeJW@aol.com Dennis, If part 43 applies to 1) aircraft having a U.S. airworthiness certificate, doesn't that mean that my Yak has to have its work signed off by an A&P? After all, my plane does have an airworthiness certificate, it just isn't a standard category certificate, its an experimental/exhibition airworthiness certificate. Just curious. On another note, anybody out there have the carb heat horns and air box for a MP 14 they want to sell? Thanks. Jay

    Subject: who can perform "maintenance" ?
    IMItemGuid: {83EFF878-E8DD-4EEF-9496-93D55F39E038} 0.44 FORGED_OUTLOOK_TAGS Outlook can't send HTML in this format --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jerry Painter" <wild.blue@verizon.net> Gents, This discussion of who may perform maintenance and inspections on experimental exhibition aircraft is interesting, but confusing. Here's what I find in Title 14 CFR: =A7 91.403 General. (a) The owner or operator of an aircraft is primarily responsible for maintaining that aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 of this chapter. (b) No person may perform maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations on an aircraft other than as prescribed in this subpart and other applicable regulations, including part 43 of this chapter. =A7 91.405 Maintenance required. Each owner or operator of an aircraft=97 (a) Shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter; (b) Shall ensure that maintenance personnel make appropriate entries in the aircraft maintenance records indicating the aircraft has been approved for return to service; =A7 91.407 Operation after maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration. (a) No person may operate any aircraft that has undergone maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration unless=97 (1) It has been approved for return to service by a person authorized under =A743.7 of this chapter; and (2) The maintenance record entry required by =A743.9 or =A743.11, as applicable, of this chapter has been made. =A7 43.3 Persons authorized to perform maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, and alterations. (a) Except as provided in this section and =A743.17, no person may maintain, rebuild, alter, or perform preventive maintenance on an aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, appliance, or component part to which this part applies. Those items, the performance of which is a major alteration, a major repair, or preventive maintenance, are listed in appendix A. (b) The holder of a mechanic certificate may perform maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations as provided in Part 65 of this chapter. (d) A person working under the supervision of a holder of a mechanic or repairman certificate may perform the maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations that his supervisor is authorized to perform, if the supervisor personally observes the work being done to the extent necessary to ensure that it is being done properly and if the supervisor is readily available, in person, for consultation. However, this paragraph does not authorize the performance of any inspection required by Part 91 or Part 125 of this chapter or any inspection performed after a major repair or alteration. =A7 43.7 Persons authorized to approve aircraft, airframes, aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, or component parts for return to service after maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration. (a) Except as provided in this section..., no person, other than the Administrator, may approve an aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, appliance, or component part for return to service after it has undergone maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration. (b) The holder of a mechanic certificate or an inspection authorization may approve an aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, appliance, or component part for return to service as provided in Part 65 of this chapter. (f) A person holding at least a private pilot certificate may approve an aircraft for return to service after performing preventive maintenance under the provisions of =A743.3(g). =A7 65.81 General privileges and limitations. (a) A certificated mechanic may perform or supervise the maintenance, preventive maintenance or alteration of an aircraft or appliance, or a part thereof, for which he is rated (but excluding major repairs to, and major alterations of, propellers, and any repair to, or alteration of, instruments), and may perform additional duties in accordance with =A7=A765.85, 65.87, and 65.95. However, he may not supervise the maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration of, or approve and return to service, any aircraft or appliance, or part thereof, for which he is rated unless he has satisfactorily performed the work concerned at an earlier date. If he has not so performed that work at an earlier date, he may show his ability to do it by performing it to the satisfaction of the Administrator or under the direct supervision of a certificated and appropriately rated mechanic, or a certificated repairman, who has had previous experience in the specific operation concerned. (b) A certificated mechanic may not exercise the privileges of his certificate and rating unless he understands the current instructions of the manufacturer, and the maintenance manuals, for the specific operation concerned. =A7 65.95 Inspection authorization: Privileges and limitations. (a) The holder of an inspection authorization may=97 (1) Inspect and approve for return to service any aircraft or related part or appliance (except any aircraft maintained in accordance with a continuous airworthiness program under part 121 of this chapter) after a major repair or major alteration to it in accordance with part 43 [New] of this chapter, if the work was done in accordance with technical data approved by the Administrator; and (2) Perform an annual, or perform or supervise a progressive inspection according to =A7=A743.13 and 43.15 of this chapter. =A7 91.409 Inspections. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, no person may operate an aircraft unless, within the preceding 12 calendar months, it has had=97 (1) An annual inspection in accordance with part 43 of this chapter and has been approved for return to service by a person authorized by =A743.7 of this chapter; (c) Paragraph (a) ... of this section do[es] not apply to=97 (1) An aircraft that carries a special flight permit, a current experimental certificate, or a light-sport or provisional airworthiness certificate... This last paragraph seems to be the source of confusion. Note that it deals with "inspections," but not "maintenance." "Annual Inspection" is a term of art used to indicate a specific type of inspection. Not all "inspections" are "annuals." "Maintenance" is not to be confused with "inspection" and vice versa. Unfortunately, I am unable to find specific code language defining or describing "condition" inspections, although we all know that in the Airworthiness Limitations for our airplanes that is what is specified to performed annually, and that the inspection is to be of the scope and detail of Part 43, Appendix D. That limitation and language for our airplanes comes from FAA Order 8130 page 142, paragraph 142, which deals with certification procedures and suggested Airworthiness Limitations. It specifies that no person may operate the aircraft unless it was given a "condition" inspection in the previous 12 months and also includes reference to the Appendix D criteria for the inspection. It also includes the language to be inserted in the aircraft records indicating the "aircraft has been found to be in a condition for safe operation". The certifying individual must sign the certification and also provide the type of certificate held and its number, just like for an "annual" inspection. "Annual" inspections require the certification of an A&P mechanic holding an IA. "Other" (which apparently includes condition inspections) inspections do not require an IA. Can anyone cite specific CFR 14 language that defines a "condition inspection" and/or persons authorized to conduct such "inspections?" Otherwise, it seems to me that "maintenance" is still a function requiring a certificated mechanic, and that the yearly "condition inspection" requires an A&P, but not necessarily one with an IA. Hope y'all had a merry Christmas/solstice/"other" ritual and wishing you a Happy New Year!

If the plane was an experimental he messed up more. A certificated plane has to meet all of the requirements to be airworthy. You can't say it is airworthy after you fix these three things. If the plane was an experimental, he should have copied the wording in the ops limits (when the plane had actually passed the inspection) and those ops limits do not include the word airworthy. Experimentals are not airworthy. Experimentals have to "safe for flight" to fly. Airworthy is defined as built and maintained in accordance with a type certificate. The ops limits also say carrying passengers or cargo for hire is prohibited in most, if not all, experimentals. Do yours say you can't rent the plane out? I've never seen any that had this prohibition.

    Subject: who can perform "maintenance" ?
    --> Yak-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> Jerry, I have looked through my pubs, the FAA Airworthiness Inspector Manual 8300.10 Change 20 (dtd Aug 27, 2004) and found the only passage on Conditional Inspections to be referenced in Volume 2 Chapter 25 regarding Repairmen of Amateur-Built Experimental Aircraft. Many owners/operators of amateur built aircraft feel this gives them the right to conduct maintenance and conditional inspections because they own the experimental aircraft. In specific fact, only an A & P or the lone repairman (the individual who actually originally built it applied for the one repairman certificate) and then performed such work could inspect the aircraft during its life. Regardless of being a second owner or partner, those individuals are out of luck - legally. Although these amateur built aircraft have Experimental Airworthiness certificates they are not the same as Foreign built Military aircraft flown in the US of A under an Experimental Type Certificate. How's that for confusion. Its my understanding on your use of FAR 91.403 that the owner/operator has the responsibility to see the inspection is done but under 43.3 and 43.7 it must be done by a properly certificated Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic (or Approved Repair Station or the manufacturer). Just like it's the Owner/Operator who makes the determination of airworthiness before placing the aircraft in flight. Its not the A & P who did the repair. It's the owner making the final decision to place the bird in service after repairs. The FAA just revised old Order 8130.2E "Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft" with 8130.2F on November 5th, 2004 to take advantage of rule changes for the Light Sport Aircraft Category addition. I found Page 171, Paragraph 159 (4); then Page 175, Paragraph 161 (sub 15,16 and 17) as well as Page 176 Paragraph 161 sub(20) specifically addressing Mechanics who must perform the required airworthiness inspection on Foreign manufactured Experimental certificated aircraft. That passage references FAR 91.409 (e,f,g and h). Here is the URL http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgOrders.nsf/0/6AC FE7E4181D16EF86256F4D006B29BE?OpenDocument If you need PDFs on the exact passages, drop me a note. These are PDF pages 187, 191 and 192 of 345. AC 20-65A makes for some interesting reading as well. For the rest of you that knew this stuff, I apologize. Oh Yeh, the private pilot owner can perform maintenance on his aircraft as long as it is under the direct supervision of a properly trained A & P. How about that for your subject line?

    --> Yak-List message posted by: "John W. Cox" <johnwcox@pacificnw.com> Ron, I believe the words recommended are found on page 175 of Order 8130.2F dated November 5, 2004 in Paragraph 161 sub (18)...... Condition inspections must be recorded in the aircraft maintenance records showing the following, or a similarly worded, statement: "I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on [insert date] in accordance with the scope and detail of appendix D to part 43, and found to be in a condition for safe operation." The entry will include the aircraft's total time-in-service, and the name, signature, certificate number, and type of certificate held by the person performing the inspection. (Applicability: Group III under 800 horsepower) Although the purpose is to confirm the continuing validity of the Experimental Airworthiness Certificate, that means its still experimentally airworthy, your right the words say its just okay for safe operation.
