2.6.5.1 Task-Specific Training
Task-specific training is specified for those tasks where specialized knowledge of the A5 is required
in order to accomplish the task properly. All maintenance must be performed by factory-authorized
personnel who have completed ICON training.
At this time, there are no maintenance, repair, or alteration tasks for the A5 which require task-specific
training.
2.6.5.2 Minimum Levels of Certification
A minimum level of certification is specified for each task in the manual. The levels are Owner/Pilot,
LSA Repairman Maintenance (LSA-RM), or A&P mechanic. In addition to these levels of certification,
any task may also require task-specific training.
Owner/Pilot—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible owner who holds at least
a Sport Pilot certificate but who has not received any specific authorized training.
LSA Repairman Maintenance (LSA-RM)—Items that can be expected to be completed on a SLSA by
a responsible individual, who holds an FAA repairman certificate (light sport aircraft) with a mainte-
nance rating.
A&P—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible individual who holds a mechanic
certificate with airframe and/or powerplant rating.
Task-Specific—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible individual who holds the
required level of certification (Owner/Pilot, LSA-RM, A&P) and in addition has received task-specific
training to perform the task.
2.6.5.3 Level of Certification Hierarchy
Each task requires definition of a level of certification. There is, however, no inherent hierarchy
between these levels. The following listing defines a hierarchy for the purposes of this A5 mainte-
nance manual that gives the limitations of each level.
• Owner/Pilot can perform only the tasks explicitly listed with the Owner/Pilot.
• LSA-RM can perform tasks that list any of Owner/Pilot or LSA-RM.
• A&P can perform tasks that list any of Owner/Pilot, LSA-RM, or A&P.
• For any of the above, if a task indicates ‘Yes’ for the task-specific requirement, then the training
specified is required in addition to the level of certification (e.g. LSA-RM + task-specific).
