What about an INOP placard/logbook entry?

Gary,

Many thanks. I hope to run into you sometime in Plainwell or Zeeland next year.

Have a great Thanksgiving,
Tim

This thread was interesting, just wanted to throw out a bit of trivia: Did you know that there is NO requirement from the FAA or anyone else to even HAVE log books? Yet we often seem to treat them as some sort of gospel.

Maybe you don't have to have a "log book", but you must have "aircraft maintenance records".
Your operating limitations state "Condition inspections must be recorded in the aircraft maintenance records...............".
To say nothing of the requirement for me to log the airworthiness certificate issuance. FAA Form 8130-6, "Application for Airworthiness Certificate", block VIII, F. states: "This inspection recorded in aircraft records."
Want an airworthiness certificate? Better have some kind of records.

I know that Mel, I have been tossing all my stuff into an old kitty litter box, figured you can sort it all out when you give me an AW cert

Hmmm. FAR 91.407 address the requirement for ".... the maintenance record entry required by 43.9 or 43.11...". But 43.1(b) says part 43 does not apply to experimental aircraft. So the 91.407 requirement is not applicable.

Is there some other part of FAR 91 that requires a mechanic to make a maintenance entry for work he performed?
