(1) Aircraft having a U.S. airworthiness certificate;
(2) Foreign-registered civil aircraft used in common carriage or carriage of mail
under the provisions of Part
(3) Airframe, aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, and component parts of
such aircraft.
(b) This part does not apply to any aircraft for which the FAA has issued
an experimental certificate
, unless the FAA has previously issued a different
kind of airworthiness certificate for that aircraft.
What does this mean? Well for one thing any person may perform maintenance
or repairs on an experimental aircraft—they do not need to be an A&P to sign off
the work. Records do not have to be kept in the manner prescribed in Part 43
but records do need to be maintained per Part 91.417.
§ 91.417 Maintenance records.
(a) Except for work performed in accordance with §§91.411 and 91.413, each
registered owner or operator shall keep the following records for the periods
specified in paragraph (b) of this section:
(1) Records of the maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration and
records of the 100-hour, annual, progressive, and
other required or approved
inspections
, as appropriate, for each aircraft (including the airframe) and each
engine, propeller, rotor, and appliance of an aircraft. The records must include—
(i) A description (or reference to data acceptable to the Administrator) of the work
performed; and
(ii) The date of completion of the work performed; and
(iii) The signature, and certificate number of the person approving the aircraft for
return to service.
(2) Records containing the following information:
(i) The total time in service of the airframe, each engine, each propeller, and
each rotor.
(ii) The current status of life-limited parts of each airframe, engine, propeller,
rotor, and appliance.
(iii) The time since last overhaul of all items installed on the aircraft which are
required to be overhauled on a specified time basis.
