Servicing - Continental Motors TSIO-520-BE Maintenance And Operator's Manual

9-1 SERVICING
The owner or operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the engine in an airworthy condition, including
compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives as specified in Part 39 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations and "Airworthiness Limitation" of this manual per FAR A33.4. It is further the responsibility of the
owner or operator to ensure that the engine is inspected in conformity with the requirements of Parts 43 and
91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Teledyne Continental Motors has prepared this inspection guide to
assist the owner or operator in meeting the foregoing responsibilities. This inspection guide is not intended
to be all-inclusive, for no such guide can replace the good judgement of a certified airframe and power plant
mechanic in the performance of his duties. As the person primarily responsible for the airworthiness of the
airplane, the owner or operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane.
