2. FAR 43.13 requires the use of the tools, equipment, and test apparatus necessary to assure completion of the
work in accordance with accepted industry practices. This means that the proper tools and test apparatus must be
used. Normally these are listed as part of any FAA-approved manufacturer’s maintenance literature.
3. FAR 43.13 also requires that any special equipment recommended by the manufacturer or its equivalent must be
used in a manner acceptable to the Administrator. This provision is more directly applicable to maintenance than
preventive maintenance. However, it may come into play. Therefore, owners and pilots should be aware of it.
4. Additionally, Section 43.13 requires that the work performed and the materials used are to be such as to ensure
that, when the work is finished, the item worked on is at least equal to its original condition. Caution must be
exercised because some functions, which appear to be simple tasks, may, in fact, be quite complicated. Care
should be taken to ensure that the manufacturer’s instructions are understood, the function is within the
individual’s capability, within the definition of preventive maintenance, and that it is listed in paragraph (c) of
Appendix A of Part 43.
e. Recording preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance must be recorded in accordance with Section 43.9 of FAR
Part 43. This is done by entering in the maintenance record, of the item worked on, the following:
1. A description (or reference to data acceptable to the Administrator) of the work performed." This should
indicate what was done and how it was done. This is normally quite simple for preventive maintenance; however,
if the description is extensive, reference to documents containing that description is acceptable. These may be
manufacturer’s manuals, ACs, or other documents or references containing data acceptable to the Administrator. If
documents other than types which are in common use are referenced, the document should be made a part of the
maintenance record, as required by Section 43.9(a)(1).
2. The kind of airman certificate exercised. When preventive maintenance is performed as authorized in Section
43.3(g), the certificate may be indicated in any manner which would be clear to the reader. For example: PP, CP,
or ATP might be used to indicate private, commercial, or airline transport pilot, respectively. The certificate
number is that number displayed on the certificate being exercised. Affixing a signature to the entry, which
describes the work accomplished, constitutes approval for return to service, as required by Section 43.9(a)(4).
NOTE: Since owners/pilots are not authorized to approve work accomplished by others, Section 43.9(a)(3) is not
applicable when preventive maintenance is performed by the holder of a pilot certificate. The holder of the pilot
certificate doing the work is the only person who can sign the approval for return to service.
f. The changes to Section 43.9 which require preventive maintenance to be recorded became effective October 15, 1982
(Amendment 43-23, 47 FR 41076; September 16, 1982). On this same date, the list of items considered to be preventive
maintenance in Appendix A of Part 43 was expanded. Two of the items warrant discussion.
1. Item 25 (Part 43, Appendix A, paragraph [c]. This item deals with the assembly of gliders and has been on the
list of preventive maintenance for some time. The recording requirements are intended to provide continuity in the
maintenance record and to ensure that the person performing preventive maintenance assumes responsibility for
the work performed. An entry for the assembly after required inspection ensures this assumption of responsibility.
Repeated entries are required each time a person assembles the aircraft for operation. The assembly must be
recorded and the aircraft approved for return to service in accordance with Section 43.9 by a person authorized in
Section 43.7.
2. Item 28 (Part 43, Appendix A, paragraph [c]. This item deals with the installation of balloon baskets and burners
specifically designed for quick removal and installation. Such disassembly and assembly is necessary to facilitate
transporting the balloon either to the launch site or after a flight is terminated. The assembly operation is
preventive maintenance and subject to the provisions of Sections 43.3, 43.7, and 43.9. As required by Section
43.1(b), entries are required for assembly operations on all balloons except those certificated in the experimental
category which have not been previously certificated in another category.
g. Items 6 and 23 (Part 43, Appendix A, paragraph [c]. These items permit the draining and reservicing of oil, and the
removal, cleaning and reinstallation oil screens, filters, and strainers in an aircraft oil system to be done as preventive
maintenance, and are subject to the provisions of Sections 43.13(a) and (b).
