It depends. If the owner is unsure, the answer is probably no. I would advise the owner to contact the local FSDO to be sure he has all of the proper certifications before starting. ------------- Steve Lindsley Avidyne Engineering |

Consistent with § 65.104(b), the aircraft will be identified by make, model, and serial number as shown on the repairman certificate. During the aircraft certification procedure the FAA issues operating limitations, as necessary per § 91.319, to ensure an adequate level of safety. These limitations may require that the subject aircraft be inspected annually by a repairman (experimental aircraft builder), the holder of an FAA mechanic certificate with appropriate ratings (airframe and powerplant), or an appropriately rated FAA repair station.
