    back into the air. 7-6-11. Emergency Airborne Inspection of Other Aircraft a. Providing airborne assistance to another aircraft may involve flying in very close proximity to that aircraft. Most pilots receive little, if any, formal training or instruction ... assess the situation should take the responsibility of coordinating the airborne intercept and inspection, and take into account the unique flight characteristics and differences of the category(s) of aircraft involved. c. Some of the safety considerations are: 1. Area…

  • Chapter 3: Aircraft Construction › Aircraft Design, Certification, and Airworthiness › A Note About Light Sport Aircraft

    Note About Light Sport Aircraft Light sport aircraft are not designed according to FAA airworthiness standards. Instead, they are designed to a consensus of standards agreed upon in the aviation industry. The FAA has agreed the consensus of standards ... acceptable as the design criteria for these aircraft. Light sport aircraft do not necessarily have individually type certificated engines and propellers. Instead, a TC is issued to the aircraft as a whole. It includes the airframe, engine, and propeller. Aircraft…

  • Chapter 9: Flight Manuals and Other Documents › Aircraft Inspections

    Aircraft Inspections Under 14 CFR part 91, the primary responsibility for maintaining an aircraft in an airworthy condition falls on the owner or operator of the aircraft. Certain inspections must be performed on the aircraft, and the owner must maintain ... airworthiness of the aircraft during the time between required inspections by having any defects corrected. Under 14 CFR, part 91, subpart E, all civil aircraft are required to be inspected at specific intervals to determine the overall condition. The interval…
