REQUIRED DOCUMENTS (cont’d)
The following documents should not be carried in the
aircraft, but must be available for use by any mechanic or
pilot servicing the aircraft:
1. Aircraft Logbook
2. Engine Logbook
NOTE
Required documents may vary in countries
other than the United States.
REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
Federal Regulations require most civil aircraft of U.S.
registry to undergo a complete inspection every twelve
months. This annual inspection must be signed off by a
mechanic with Inspection Authorization (lA). In addition
to the annual inspection, the R44 Maintenance Manual
requires a complete inspection after every 100 hours of
operation.
The helicopter incorporates a number of fatigue life-limited
components which must be retired at specified time
intervals. A list of these components is contained in the
Airworthiness Limitations section of the R44 Maintenance
Manual and Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.
The R44 helicopter includes many unique features. Without
special training, Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanics
are not qualified to perform the above inspections. These
inspections must be performed only by properly rated
personnel who have successfully completed a factory-
approved maintenance course of instruction on the R44
helicopter.
