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,  donato_m@hotmail.com  or 772-349-4633
