  • Preventive Maintenance
    Maintenance Aspects of Owning Your Own Aircraft Introduction According to 14 CFR Part 43, Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding, and Alteration, the holder of a pilot certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 61 may perform specified preventive maintenance on any aircraft owned or operated by that pilot, as long as the aircraft is not used under 14 CFR Part 121, 127, 129, or 135. This pamphlet provides information on authorized preventive maintenance. How To Begin Here are several important points to understand before you attempt to perform your own preventive maintenance: First, you need to understand that authorized preventive maintenance cannot involve complex assembly operations. Second, you should carefully review 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix A, Subpart C (Preventive Maintenance), which provides a list of the authorized preventive maintenance work that an owner pilot may perform. Third, you should conduct a self-analysis as to whether you have the ability to perform the work satisfactorily and safely. Fourth, if you do any of the preventive maintenance authorized in 14 CFR Part 43, you will need to make an entry in the appropriate logbook or record system in order to document the work done. The entry must include the following information: • A description of the work performed, or references to data that are acceptable to the Administrator. • The date of completion. • The signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person performing the work. Note that the signature constitutes approval for return to service only for work performed. Examples of Preventive Maintenance Items The following is a partial list of what a certificated pilot who meets the conditions in 14 CFR Part 43 can do: • Remove, install, and repair landing gear tires.

  • Airline Maintenance Cost Executive Commentary - January 2011
    Airline Maintenance Cost Executive Commentary - January 2011 Airline Maintenance Cost Executive Commentary An exclusive benchmark analysis (FY2009 data) by IATA’s Maintenance Cost Task Force Executive Summary In 2009, global aviation faced the worst decline to date. Economies Overhead accounted for an average of 24% of the total maintenance cost. As worldwide have been shaken by the global crisis and demand for aviation not all airlines reported the overhead cost, for the purpose of this analysis we plunged. The air cargo industry has been extremely hardly hit, as demand for mostly focus on the direct maintenance cost (DMC). air freight is very elastic and demand for consumer goods dropped to record The 20 airlines continuously reporting to the MCTF for 4+ years flew 2% less lows. The financial consequences for the aviation industry have resulted in a flight hours and 6% less flight cycles, resulting in a 3% lower annual aircraft “permanent” loss of 2.5 years of growth in passenger business and 3.5 years utilization (down to 8.82 hours/day). The stage length increased by 4% of growth in air cargo*. compared to the year before.
