With respect to logging maintenance in the engine logbook, what components and accessories are considered part of the engine as opposed to part of the airframe.
Specifically, if you install a new electric fuel pump, since that device is bolted to the airframe and not connected to the engine I presume that this is more accurately an airframe component?
Same thing with a remote mounted oil cooler. It is not really a component of the engine so I presume that if the oil cooler was replaced that would be an airframe log entry and not an engine logbook entry since the engine itself was not touched during the R&R. So what about if I were to replace an engine oil cooler hose, yes I had to touch the engine to perform this maintenance and the action needs to be logged however where does one (me) log this work?
How about an alternator belt? The propeller needs to be R&R'd to replace the belt, and the belt is attached to the engine... so do I need to record in the propeller log that the prop was R&R'd an then also in the engine that the belt was R&R'd?
Engine cooling baffles?
Vacuum pump?
Engine mount rubber isolators?
Exhaust pipe? Exhaust pipe cabin heater muff?
I guess I never thought about tis before until I just R&R'd the electric fuel pump.
THANKS for your advice!!!
