Question

After maintenance, a pilot verifying that an aircraft is airworthy for a flight under Part 91, 125, or 135 should ensure that the maintenance records show the date of inspection; the type of inspection; a brief description of the extent of the inspection; and the signature, the certificate number, and the kind of certificate held by the person approving the aircraft's return to service. Is there any other information required on the record?

Answer 1

Aircraft maintenance records must include additional information such as the aircraft's total time in service and time since the last overhaul to assure airworthiness after maintenance.

Step-by-step explanation:

After maintenance, the pilot must ensure that the aircraft's maintenance records are compliant with applicable regulations to verify the aircraft is airworthy for flight under Part 91, 125, or 135. In addition to the date of inspection, type of inspection, brief description of the extent of the inspection, and the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the aircraft's return to service, these records should also typically include the aircraft's total time in service, the time since the last required overhaul of airframe, engines, propellers, rotor blades, and appliances. These details provide a comprehensive history that can be used to plan future maintenance and ensure ongoing aircraft safety.
