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and inspections must be retained for a minimum of one year or as long as needed until the work is repeated or superseded.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.
