    Study Notes

    Airlaw and Airworthiness Reviewer Sheet

    • Airframe Inspection: Overhauling electrical equipment requires information from the aircraft maintenance manual, manufacturer instructions and illustrated parts manuals.
    • Return to Service Approval: An appropriately rated mechanic can repair defects and approve an aircraft for return to service, if not approved by the annual inspection person.
    • Beyond 100-Hour Inspections: Aircraft may be flown beyond the 100-hour inspection requirement to reach a location for inspection provided flight hours do not exceed 15 hours.
    • Supplemental Type Certificate Approvals: Radio equipment installations requiring Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) data require field approval from FAA.
    • 100-Hour Inspections: An individual (not a repair station) can perform a complete 100-hour inspection and approve an aircraft for return to service if they hold both airframe and powerplant ratings and an inspection authorization.
    • Record Keeping: The statement for approval/disapproval of aircraft after a 100-hour or annual inspection is found in 14 CFR Part 91.
    • Airworthiness Directives: Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are information alert bulletins issued by the manufacturer and compliance is mandatory for hire aircraft, recorded in maintenance records.
    • 100-Hour Inspection Requirements: 14 CFR Part 91 documents the operating conditions that make a 100-hour mandatory inspection.
    • Unairworthy Aircraft After Annual Inspection: If an aircraft is found unairworthy due to major repair after annual inspection, a mechanic can complete the repair and an Inspection Authorization (IA) approves the aircraft's return to service.
    • Aircraft Maintenance Records: Records of 100-hour inspections are retained for at least one year according to Part 91, and maintenance records must retain details for at least one year.

    Maintenance Forms and Records

    • Maintenance Records: Records of aircraft maintenance, alterations, preventive maintenance, 100-hour inspections, annual and progressive inspections must be kept for at least one year.
    • Certificated Mechanic Responsibilities: A certificated airframe and powerplant mechanic can perform 100-hour inspections, annual inspections in specified circumstances and progressive inspections in specified circumstances.
    • Aircraft Record Entries: Records should properly reflect any maintenance, alteration, or repair with the date of completion and the mechanic's signature.
    • FAA Notice of Unsafe Conditions: The FAA notifies owners about unsafe conditions and prescribes operating conditions for the issue.
    • Aircraft Major Repair: The overhaul of a hydraulic pressure pump is a major repair.
    • Maintenance Record Entries: When approving an aircraft for return to service after maintenance, appropriate entries must be recorded. A detailed record must include description of work, date of completion, and the mechanics signature and certificate number.
    • Aircraft Records: The requirements for maintenance record entries, for example, aircraft record formats, should include record continuity and required information.
    • Aircraft 100-Hour Inspection Records: If separate records are used for airframe, powerplant(s), and propeller(s), the 100-hour inspection entry goes in each.
    • 100-Hour Inspection Duration: The maximum time a 100-hour inspection can be extended is 10 hours, but with a special FAA flight permit this can be extended to 12 hours.
    • Maintenance Record Formats: Any format that provides continuous records and includes required information is acceptable for maintenance records.
