Rules Regarding The Maintaining Of An Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft (E-AB) Combine Simplicity With A Requirement For More Responsibility On The Part Of The Owner/Operator
The definition of the term maintenance as it applies to aircraft is found in 14 CFR (FAR) Part 43, and FAR 43.1 makes it clear that FAR 43 does not apply to an E-AB. The way FAR 43.1 is written it could even be implied that the term “maintenance” is not applicable to an E-AB. However, we’ll use the term because it makes sense.
