REFLECTOR: Maintenance

[Tom Falls]

Your (and Reiff's) understanding is confirmed in the answer to the 1st
question from the attached Kit Planes article "Ask the DAR".

Reiff,

That is my understanding as well, but I'd like to find something in the FAR
that states that or something like that.

John,

Anyone can do construction, maintenance, and repairs on an experimental
aircraft and sign the log books. No qualifications of any kind are required.
You can do it, your wife can do it, her friend can help,  the neighbor's kid
down the street can sign the logs. Anyone is allowed as far as the FAA is
concerned. You may need to notify the FAA using form 337 if the repairs
include a major change, but again, anyone can do the major change, sign the
logs, and notify the FAA.

Some people may try to quote FAR Part 43.1 (b) but that entire section
specifically excludes experimental aircraft.

A repairman's certificate or A&P rating is only required to do the annual
condition inspection on an experimental aircraft.

Anyone know if there's a reg that specifically states who can perform
maintenance on an experimental?  Also do log book entries require a
signature like routine maintenance for certified aircraft?
