Aircraft are maintained under
A Certificated repair station works under
in order to maintain aircraft. To these must always be added
I am an industry veteran with 29 + years experience approving aircraft for return to service just under my signature alone, in compliance with these regulations, and in addition I also have experience in
All of these Parts represent a large number of pages of CFR regulations governing how an aircraft can be approved for return to service after maintenance.
I have been approving and releasing aircraft and engines for return to service for 29+ years, and so I know the subtleties. I know what to look for when reviewing aircraft documentation and I know how to relate what I find in the aircraft records to the actual physical condition of the aircraft and vice versa. I regard pilots with utmost respect for their flying skills and their ability to operate the aircraft, but of course they are not trained nor certified in Maintenance or Inspection. I have tested all types of systems on all types of aircraft and have performed the maintenance in the records for these aircraft. This is what enables me to accurately detect warning flags, and this can mean large savings for potential buyers, or it can mean an increase or reduction in value for appraisal purposes.
Here’s a simple test:
Suppose that you want to determine the condition of an aircraft so that it can be accurately appraised, and you have to choose one of:
A) An Airframe and Power plant Mechanic with FAA Inspector Authorization and 30 years of industry experience and who has been valuating Turbine and piston aircraft since 2001.
B) A highly qualified pilot with years of experience flying all types of aircraft. (Pilots are nice fella's, and I have a standing banter with most of them)
C) An experienced appraiser with no FAA Airframe and Power plant Mechanic and Inspector Authorizations, no hands-on maintenance experience or training and no pilots ratings.
(Let me recommend that you choose A)!!!
I look forward to hearing from you.
