This chapter is intended to serve as a guide for a certified airframe and power plant mechanic to
perform routine maintenance on the aircraft. It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator
to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition and ensure that all applicable Airworthiness
Directives have been complied with. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the owner and the
operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected as specified in Parts 43 and 91 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations. This inspection guide is not intended to replace the good judgment of a
certified airframe and power plant mechanic.
The guide will make reference to service information provided by other vendors such as the
manufacturer of the engine. The persons performing the maintenance on the aircraft must
ensure that they have the latest editions of these publications. This guide will not make
