CHAPTER 8. HANDLING, SERVICING, AND
MAINTENANCE
8-1. General
Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) section
(§) 91.403(a) places the primary responsibility of maintaining
the helicopter in an airworthy condition on the owner or
operator of the helicopter. The owner of the helicopter should
register the helicopter with Enstrom Helicopter Corporation
so they will receive the latest Service Directive Bulletins,
Service Information Letters, and manual revisions. All
procedures, limits, service, and maintenance requirements
contained in this manual, the F-28F/280F Series
Maintenance Manual, and Service Directive Bulletins are
considered mandatory.
Registration of the helicopter in accordance with 14 CFR,
Part 47 will ensure receipt of FAA Airworthiness Directives
(AD). AD(s) are mandatory inspections or changes that must
be completed within the time specified in the Directive.
8-2. Required Inspections

All aircraft are required to undergo periodic inspections
dependent on the regulations under which they are
operating. Your maintenance facility can help you

exported helicopters should check with their own National
Aviation Authority (NAA) to determine inspection
requirements.

Enstrom requires periodic inspections as outlined in the
F-28F/280F Series Maintenance Manual.
