Piper ARCHER III - Preventive Maintenance

A spectrographic analysis of the engine oil is available from several
sources. This inspection, if performed properly, provides a good check of the
internal condition of the engine. To be accurate, induction air filters must be
cleaned or changed regularly, and oil samples must be taken and sent in at
regular intervals.
8.5 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The holder of a pilot certificate issued under Federal Aviation Regulations
(FAR) Part 61 may perform certain preventive maintenance as defined in the
FARs. This maintenance may be performed only on an aircraft which the pilot
owns and operates, and which is not used in air carrier or air taxi/commercial
operations service.
All other maintenance must be accomplished by a person or facility
appropriately certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to
perform that work.
Anytime maintenance is accomplished, an entry must be made in the
appropriate aircraft maintenance records. The entry shall include:
(a) The date the work was accomplished.
(b) Description of the work.
(c) Number of hours on the aircraft.
(d) The certificate number of pilot performing the work.
