Special and Experimental Light Sport
Repairman Maintenance Available: Call 772-349-4633 for more Info
Donato Martino a EAA Chapter 908
member from Port Saint Lucie has recently completed the 120-hour Light Sport
Repairman Maintenance course provided by Rainbow Aviation Services located in
Corning, California. Donato is now one of the first Light Sport Repairmen in the
country and is qualified to inspect (100hr and Annual) and provide the
maintenance on any Special or Experimental Light Sport Airplane.
The time, effort, and cost
of attending the FAA required course prevents all but the most determined
individuals from obtaining the Light Sport Repairman Maintenance certification.
The curriculum includes numerous items. A partial list includes: regulations,
consensus standards, an engine and propeller module of 45 hours, aircraft fabric
and tubing, seats and safety belts, instruments, flight and engine controls,
batteries, studs and nuts, lines, hoses, and clamps, exhaust stacks,
accessories, hydraulic lines, all aircraft systems, wheels, tires, brakes,
radios, propeller, fuel system, landing gear, and the aircraft logbook.
The purpose of the
maintenance course is to train a person to perform maintenance and conditional
inspections on Special Light Sport Aircraft, as well as Experimental Light Sport
Aircraft. Special LSA aircraft are those which are delivered turnkey flyable
from a manufacturer, and which meet certain ASTM "consensus standards." The
maintenance rating is only available by attending the Repairman course.
For more information on the
new Light Sport Aircraft including Experimental Ultralight Transition services
offered by Donato contact: Donato,
