Para 43.3, (g) Authorized persons, preventive maintenance, rated pilot

Appendix A to Part 43 of the Fed Air Regs, paragraph C, Preventive Maint

Do not see a compass as an approved item..
do see.. "replacing hoses other than hydraulic"

Normally there is more to a compass than "adding fluid", if it needs
fluild.. there is a leak.. need to rebuild it.
Then need to "swing the compass" installed in the glider with electrics on.

Cousin has a glider and said that he needs to add fluid in compass.

Is this something that can be done? If so, can he do it or does an A&P
have to do it? What is the fluid?

Also, he is also wanting to replace the tubing between the pitot tube and
the instrument. Again, can he do this or does an A&P have to do it?


Thanks...
