ICON A5 MM : General : Maintenance System for Light Sport Aircraft : Maintenance Levels of Certification : Level of Certification Hierarchy
Level of Certification Hierarchy
100226-00
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 maintenance manual that gives the limitation 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).
Table 1. Summary table of level of certification hierarchy. In any instance, task-specific training is in addition to level of certification.
