ADVISORY CIRCULAR FOCUSES ON MAINTAINING 'VINTAGE' AIRCRAFT
Pilots who own or operate aircraft type certificated before 1980 will have new guidance to help them maintain their aircraft under a draft advisory circular (AC). The AC, titled "Parts and Materials Substitution for Vintage Airplanes," identifies suitable replacement parts for minor alternations that can be made through logbook entries. The AC is intended to help owners of older aircraft identify acceptable part substitutions for many common items such as alternator and generator belts and batteries, making it easier to maintain these airplanes as they age. The draft AC is available online and comments are due by August 13.
