What must owners/operators comply with regarding maintenance records?

Owners and operators must comply with all requirements outlined in section 91.417, which addresses the maintenance records for aircraft. This section mandates specific details regarding what must be documented, including the need for signatories who can certify that the work was performed. Compliance with these regulations is essential for ensuring that maintenance is conducted properly and recorded accurately, which in turn helps maintain the safety and integrity of the aircraft.

This regulation includes thorough documentation of all maintenance, preventative maintenance, alterations, and inspections performed on the aircraft, ensuring a traceable history of the aircraft's condition. Adhering to these requirements is crucial not only for operational compliance but also for maintaining the aircraft's airworthiness and safety.
