Condition inspection

by bob Strakele in General Tech Discussion 8 years ago

Hi All, I am the owner NOT BUILDER of
a Rans Courier s7s with Rotax 912 with
a ELSA airworthiness certificate. Can I
Perform my own condition inspections
after attending the 16 hour course. This
area of regulations is difficult to interpret.

Appreciate any help and or guidance.

Hi Bob,

So long as you passed the 16 hr. class and sent the FAA your form and "N" number for approval and received your card back I think you're good to go. You are only allowed to work on your own plane and no one else's. I would call the FAA in Oklahoma and jsu ask to be on solid ground.

p.s.
Do better logbook entries than the one shown. Be more detailed. If you follow the Rotax checklist and a checklist for your plane then all you are is a secretary documententing what you did on the two check list. The logbook label just about writes itself. FAA considers logbook entries like the one posted as barely getting by. Kind of like being at the bottom 1% of the class. This is a quote from the FAA. It passes, but being at the top 10% is a lot better for you as an owner and when it comes time to sell or defend yourself if something goes south.

Bob,

That log book endorsement doesn't match the FAA database. FAA records indicate this is Expermental AB not E-LSA. Neither an LSR-M or LSR-I can sign off the condition inspection, you need an A&P or IA to do it...based on the FAA database.
