Maintenance Checks
4.1
General
This section sets forth each mandatory replacement time, structural inspection interval,
and related structural inspection procedure required.
The time limits and maintenance schedule provided are in addition to any regulation of
the governing body where the aircraft is flown.
The pilot of the aircraft must ensure that the required maintenance is carried out and
documented in the correct manner.
4.2
Time Limits
Extreme operating conditions and any extreme loads will reduce the time limits for
components and the fatigue life of the airframe. The fatigue life of these components is
dependent upon rigid adherence to maintenance schedules.
Air Creation will from time to time amend these maintenance checks as the service
history of the aircraft evolves. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure compliance
with new directives. (Information is available on the website
The following components are time limited and should be overhauled or replaced as
indicated. This table may be updated to include more components in the future as
airworthiness directives are amended.
