Default § 61.87 (i)

Concerning Burt’s comment on the FAA exemption letter for non A&Ps to assemble gliders... anybody know where to find it on the SSA site?
I’m not having any luck finding it.

"This information can be found in Amendment 43-27, published in 52 FR 17276, May 6, 1987 which is an amendment to 14 CFR part 43.."

Even if you can't find it, the FSDO guy will happily take a half-day to look it up!

Jeez this new format is atrocious.

Glider Assembly Exemption.
An aircraft logbook entry is not required for assembling a glider.

From the FAA Glider Flying Handbook, page 6-2 (8083-13A, the current edition):
“The assembly of a glider to include the installation of glider wings and tail surfaces is classified as operations functions not preventative maintenance.
This information can be found in Amendment 43-27, published in 52 FR 17276, May 6, 1987 which is an amendment to 14 CFR part 43.”
The FAA considers that training in assembling a glider is part of the mandatory glider pre-solo training requirements in CFR 61.87(i)(13). Therefore, it not a part 43 preventative maintenance action which would require a logbook entry, but a normal operational action and no logbook entry is required.

Neat!
Back when I first started flying gliders, an instructor told me that you had to log assembly and disassembly in the logbook. Seeing as that was 1986, it was certainly true then!

Here's the link to the exemption, stored at the Library of Congress:
https://www.loc.gov/item/fr052087/

You'll find the exemption listed in Chapter VII, near the end of the document.

Another argument is that the glider POH, FAA-approved procedures for the pilot to follow, contains instructions on how to assemble and disassemble the glider.

Tony,

The FSDO could have cared less.
