-Airframe, -Each Engine, -Each Propeller and -Each Rotor

Obtain current status of any life-limited parts for each:

-Airframe, -Each Engine, -Each Propeller and -Each Rotor and -Appliance (TCDS for small aircraft may state what manufacture document has Airworthiness Limitations listed, which include life limited parts) (Large Aircraft will have life limited parts listed in manufactures program under Airworthiness Limitations or Engine Chapter 5 limits)

-Note most all older small GA aircraft TC’d under CAR3 or CAR4 will not have life limited parts as it was not a requirement back then. Newer small GA aircraft TC’d under Part 23 many have them and will be listed on TCDS. So always check TCDS.

You can look up STC by the following link: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgSTC.nsf/MainFrame?OpenFrameSet

Call the FAA office that holds the STC if there are any questions.

Note: Some STC have maintenance requirements, known as Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) as required by 14 CFR part 21.50(d). If there are any then they will be listed on the STC and should also be noted on the FAA Form 337. Some older STC many not have any or some should have but the STC holder and FAA did not make any.

-Engine(s) & propeller (s) -Flight deck -Cargo/baggage compartments

Note the category (classifications) of Special AW certificates include: Primary, Restricted, Limited, Provisional, Light-Sport, Experimental and Special Flight Permits. Operating Limitations will also be issued and MUST accompany FAA Form 8130-7 and be dated the same date.

NOTE: Some aircraft that are issued a Special AW certificate could be a TC aircraft; Example: Aircraft has a Special AW Certificate issued under the Restricted Category, i.e. Allied Ag Cat, Model G-164. If this is the case, review TCDS for that TC aircraft.

Typically we will use aircraft that have an Special AW Certificate with a Category of either: Limited, Restricted, Light-Sport or Experimental .

NOTE: Special Airworthiness Certificate under the “Experimental” category issued for the following: “Exhibition or Air Racing (21.191 (d)(e)” will be “Inspected” per the inspection program listed on the Operating Limitations.

Review maintenance logs to determine how aircraft is maintained in accordance with an inspection program meeting the scope and content described in § 91.409(f). The owner/operator must select and identify in the aircraft maintenance records one of the following programs for the inspection of the aircraft:

(a) For type-certificated aircraft, a current inspection program recommended by the manufacturer; or

(b) For former military aircraft, an inspection program recommended turbine engine by the manufacturer or North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) airplanes, military service; or

(c) An FAA-approved inspection program.

Note: To extend an inspection interval, the owner/operator must submit a request for that extension with supporting documentation and data to the local FSDO and obtain concurrence from that FSDO.

Inspections must be recorded in the aircraft maintenance records showing the following, or a similarly worded, statement: “I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on [insert date] per [identify applicable inspection program] and found to be in a condition for safe operation.”

-All other aircraft not described above Review maintenance logs to determine if within the preceding 12 calendar months it has had a condition inspection performed in accordance with the scope and detail of part 43, appendix D, manufacturer or other FAA-approved programs, and was found to be in a condition for safe operation.

The inspections must be recorded in the aircraft maintenance All other aircraft not records showing the following, or a similarly worded, statement: “I certify described above. that this aircraft has been inspected on [insert date] in accordance with the [insert either: scope and detail of part 43, appendix D; or manufacturer’s inspection procedures] and was found to be in a condition for safe operation.”

The entry will include the aircraft’s total time-in-service (cycles if appropriate), and the name, signature, certificate number, and type of certificate held by the person performing the inspection.

NOTE: Special Airworthiness Certificate under the “Experimental” category issued for the following: “Exhibition or Air Racing (21.191 (d)(e)” will be “Inspected” per the inspection program listed on the Operating Limitations.

(a) For type-certificated aircraft, a current inspection program recommended by the manufacturer; or

(b) For former military aircraft, an inspection program recommended by the manufacturer or North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military service; or

(c) An FAA-approved inspection program.

Note: To extend an inspection interval, the owner/operator must submit a request for that extension with supporting documentation and data to the local FSDO and obtain concurrence from that FSDO.

Inspections must be recorded in the aircraft maintenance records showing the following, or a similarly worded, statement: “I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on [insert date] per [identify applicable inspection program] and found to be in a condition for safe operation.” (14)

(a) Type-Certificated Products: Replacement of life-limited parts required by § 91.409(e) applies to experimental aircraft when the required replacement times are specified in the U.S. aircraft specifications or type certificate data sheets.

(b) Non-Type-Certificated Products: All articles installed in non-type-certificated products operated under an airworthiness certificate issued for an experimental purpose, in which the manufacturer has specified limits, must include in their program an equivalent level of safety for those articles. These limits must be evaluated for their current operating environment and addressed in the approved inspection program. All articles installed in non-type-certificated products in which the manufacturer has specified limits, must include in their program an equivalent level of safety for those articles. The article must be inspected to ensure the equivalent level of safety still renders the product in a serviceable condition for safe operation. (19)

or Changing between operating purposes of a multipurpose certificate must be accomplished in accordance with [describe the production certificate holder’s approved operating procedure, for example, ABC Aircraft Co. Experimental Operating Procedure No. 12 (dated)]. (24)

Landing will not be attempted unless landing planning determines that a full stop landing can be made within 60 percent of the effective length of the runway from a point 50 feet above the runway.

When calculating takeoff or landing performance, corrections must be made for any runway gradient. Performance data based on still air may be corrected by taking into account not more than 50 percent of any reported headwind component and not less than 150 percent of any reported tailwind component. Calculations may not include the use of reverse thrust or drag chute. (26) 27 The owner/operator must submit an annual program letter to the geographically responsible FSDO where the aircraft is based. A copy of the current program letter and any amendments must be carried on board the aircraft any time that the aircraft is being operated. The program letter must include the following information:

• The aircraft’s home base,

• The name of the person responsible for the operation and maintenance of the aircraft,

• A list of events at which the aircraft will be [exhibited/raced] (the list may be amended as necessary),

• The estimated time or number of flights, and

• The areas over which the aircraft will be flown. (27) 28 Aircraft equipped with live ejection seats must be clearly externally marked to ensure emergency personnel are aware of the hazard presented by the system. Live ejection seat systems must be maintained and inspected in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures or U.S./NATO applicable orders. The manufacturer or military service must approve any modification to the seat or parts substitution. The manufacturer or military service must have approved the ejection seat system, as configured, for installation in the aircraft.

Live ejection seat systems must be secured in accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures or U.S./NATO technical orders to prevent inadvertent operation of the system any time the aircraft is parked or out of service.

Pilots operating aircraft and passengers of aircraft equipped with an ejection propellant system, whether armed or not armed, must satisfactorily complete an FAA-approved ejection seat training program for the pilot and the passenger.(28) 29 When an aircraft’s home base is changed or there is a transfer of ownership, the owner/operator will, within 30 days—

• Submit a new program letter to the geographically responsible FSDO.

• If an accepted or approved inspection program is specified in these operating limitations, submit a copy to the geographically responsible FSDO. (29)
