REPAIRMAN’S CERTIFICATION
The Repairman’s Certificate is applied for using the application form 8610-2,
available from the local FAA offices. You should ask for this when you apply for
your final inspection on your aircraft. You should also be familiar with the
Appendix D of FAR part
43. (Items included in the Annual Condition Inspection.)
Every twelve calendar months a condition inspection is performed in accordance
with Appendix D of FAR part 43. The repairman has to include the aircraft
total time in service, the name, the signature, and the certificate type number of
the repairman or A & P, who does the examination.
A & P mechanics must do the Annual Condition Inspection for those who are
non- builders who own an amateur-built aircraft. On those aircraft where the
builder has a Repairman’s Certificate, it is recommended that from time to time
the Annual Condition Inspection of those aircraft be done by an A & P simply as
a check on the builder/repairman’s work. One legal representative recommends
that every other Annual Condition Inspection for a builder holding a repairman’s
certificate be done by an A & P mechanic.
