2FlyAgain Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks...! Not surprisingly, I am pretty limited if I want to keep the SLSA status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 That was a good webinar. Not too much that was new for most of us I suspect. I thought the matrix was good... follow the white rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I thought he was wrong when he said compression was supposed to be checked at 87 lbs. Differential compression can be checked at 80-87 lbs. A straight compression test should give a result of not less than 87. So that was not clear.

FastEddieB Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks - filed away for the future edification of others. Seems to be the work of Prof. Shuch. Thanks to the Professor as well! The other recurring debate is that it shows Preventive Maintenance limited by what the manufacturer permits. That's what I always thought, but some hold that the manufacturer cannot limit what the FAR's permit. Never saw anything conclusive on that, as I recall.

Tom Baker Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 If who ever made that chart would have looked at 65.95 privileges and limitations for an IA they would have known that an IA can not do any of the things listed on the chart.

Anticept Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 If who ever made that chart would have looked at 65.95 privileges and limitations for an IA they would have known that an IA can not do any of the things listed on the chart. Literal interpretation, yes. But, a lot of people refer to an IA as though it's some super-certificate, instead of being an authorization. If I may suggest, when you pick apart errors, make sure that you stress that you are only trying to highlight the misunderstandings, so nobody thinks you're trying to be a dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom, Just a friendly suggestion . . . why don't you make a new and better one . . . and post it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The webinar should be available on the EAA site soon, if it is not already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Hereford Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Tom, Your statement regarding the IA is right on the money! There are several other errors as well. 1. Task specific training is not required. Compliance with 65.107 (repairmen) or 65.81 is required. 2. Maintenance manuals don't authorize personnel (as suggested in note [4]). 3. The definition of "major repair" is found in FAR part 1. It has nothing to do with where instructions are found (maintenance manual or other approved source).

FredG Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Doug and others, thanks for mentioning Note 4 in the matrix. Specifically, am I correct that the manufacturer is not able to limit who is authorized to perform preventive maintenance (ie, this is authorized by the FAA, not the manufacturer)?

Doug Hereford Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Fred, Correct. The regulations (not mfgs) specify who is allowed to perform mx, preventive mx, rebuilding, and alterations. On other clairifcation on my previous post: Repairmen may need to obtain additional appropriate training (as required by 65.107) before performing a major repair.

Tom Baker Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Tom, Just a friendly suggestion . . . why don't you make a new and better one . . . and post it here? I have offered to do a presentation for the IA renewal clinic held by our FSDO. If they accept my offer I will be working up a presentation and will be glad to post it here when I do.
