Study Notes
Aircraft Maintenance Records and Compliance
- Aircraft maintenance records are the official place to document compliance with FAA Airworthiness Directives and manufacturer service bulletins.
- The signature of an authorized individual in maintenance records verifies the approval for return to service only for the specific work performed.
Handling Defects and Unairworthiness
- During annual inspections, if a defect renders an aircraft unairworthy, the inspector must provide a signed written notice detailing the discrepancies to the owner.
- The FAA uses Airworthiness Directives (ADs) to inform aircraft owners of unsafe conditions and stipulate conditions for continued operation.
Major Repairs and Documentation
- Major repairs for appliances include overhauling hydraulic pressure pumps.
- FAA Form 337 is required for documenting major repairs or alterations to airframes, engines, propellers, or appliances.
Maintenance Records Protocols
- Different entries are required for airframe major repairs, such as the repair of skin sheets through additional seams.
- Documentation must be clear; for example, replacing heli-coils should detail the extraction, gauging, and installation processes.
Maintenance and Inspection Entries
- Records for 100-hour inspections must be made in each maintenance record if separate records for the airframe, powerplant, and propeller exist.
- Total time in service must be noted only after inspections are completed under Part 91.
Entry Requirements for Repairs and Alterations
- Any additional space needed for work descriptions on FAA Form 337 must include aircraft nationality, registration, and completion date.
- All parts or materials installed on type certificated products must meet FAA airworthiness standards.
Responsibilities and Retention of Records
- Post-inspection entries are mandatory and must be made by the person approving the return to service.
- Records concerning maintenance, alterations, and inspections must be retained for a minimum of one year or as long as needed until the work is repeated or superseded.
Specific Actions for Minor Repairs
- Minor repairs on certificated aircraft require recording in permanent records but do not necessitate the completion of FAA Form 337.
- For work necessitating FAA Form 337, the form must be prepared by the individual performing or supervising the work, not the one approving it.
Responsibility for Discrepancies and Recordkeeping
- Discrepancies that make an aircraft unairworthy, when listed to the owner after an inspection, indicate that the aircraft is otherwise airworthy except for those issues.
- To reconstruct lost maintenance records, establishing the total time-in-service of the airframe is essential.### Approval and Maintenance Responsibilities
- The responsible individual for approving return to service includes either the aircraft owner or operator, or the designated approver.
- For major repairs or alterations, the individual performing or supervising the work must prepare FAA Form 337.
Data Approval for Major Repairs
- Data used for approving major repairs or alterations must be FAA-approved before use, ensuring regulatory compliance.
FAA Form 337 Usage
- FAA Form 337 is exclusively authorized for U.S.-registered aircraft.
- It is not valid for foreign-registered aircraft except when they are located in the United States.
FAA Form 337 Copies
- Two copies of FAA Form 337 are required: one for the aircraft owner and one for the FAA.
- The original is retained with the aircraft's records, while the duplicate is submitted to the FAA within 48 hours post-approval for return to service.
Maintenance Record Responsibilities
- The aircraft owner is responsible for maintaining adequate records for aircraft maintenance.
- Maintenance personnel must document entries regarding the aircraft's return to service in the maintenance records.
Special Flight Permits
- If an aircraft fails its annual inspection but is deemed safe, a special flight permit must be obtained to transport it to another maintenance facility.
Inspection Checklists
- Annual and 100-hour inspections must utilize checklists as specified in 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix D, which outlines required inspection areas.
Documenting Major Repairs
- FAA Form 337 is specifically designated for documenting major repairs and major alterations made to airframes, powerplants, propellers, or appliances.
Maintenance Record Entries
- After completing a 100-hour inspection, the mechanic must make proper maintenance record entries before the aircraft can be returned to service.
Mechanic Inspection Authority
- A certificated airframe and powerplant mechanic can perform and approve a 100-hour inspection and progressive inspections under specific conditions.
- An Inspection Authorization is required for conducting annual inspections.
ATA iSpec 2200
- ATA iSpec 2200 serves as a standardized electronic documentation format for aircraft models, enhancing consistency in maintenance manuals.
