What is Owner-Assisted Maintenance?
Owner-assisted maintenance gives you the opportunity to legally participate in maintaining your aircraft while learning valuable skills. Under the FAA’s preventive maintenance rules, many routine tasks can be completed by the owner with proper guidance. At Penn Air Repair, we encourage owners to get involved — it's a great way to save money and better understand your aircraft.
