The airplane must be maintained as outlined in FAR 43.  Recommended inspections are out-
lined in the airplane Maintenance Manual.  The owner/operator is responsible for Airworthi-
ness Directives (AD's) that may be issued from time to time.  Reference should be made to 
FAR 91 and FAR 43 requirements for properly certified agency or personnel to accomplish 
the required FAA inspection and most of the manufacturer's recommended inspections.   
 
It is required that owner's email address, (name/address–optional) and Aircraft S/N be sent to

6.3  PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE THAT MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY A CERTIFIED PILOT: 
 

A.  A certified pilot who owns or operates an airplane not used as an air carrier is authorized 

by FAR Part 43 to perform limited preventive maintenance on his airplane.  Refer to FAR 
Part 43 for list of things the pilot may do.  Pilots operating aircraft of other than U.S. regi-
stry should refer to the regulations of the country of certification for information on preven-
tive maintenance that may be performed by pilots.  All other maintenance required on air-
plane is to be accomplished by appropriately licensed personnel and that airplane dealer 
or service station should be contacted for further information. 

B.  Preventive maintenance should be accomplished in accordance with the appropriate air-

plane Maintenance Manual.  Manual should be obtained prior to performing preventive 
maintenance to be sure that proper procedures are followed. 

 
6.4  ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS TO AIRPLANE: 
 

Alterations or repairs to airplane must be accomplished by licensed personnel.  The FAA 
should be contacted prior to any alterations on airplane to insure that Airworthiness of the air-
plane is not violated.
