A minimum level of certification is specified for each task in the manual. The levels are Owner/Pilot, LSA Repairman Maintenance (LSA-RM), or A&P mechanic. In addition to these levels of certification, any task may also require task-specific training.

Owner/Pilot—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible owner who holds at least a Sport Pilot certificate but who has not received any specific authorized training.

LSA Repairman Maintenance (LSA-RM)—Items that can be expected to be completed on a SLSA by a responsible individual, who holds an FAA repairman certificate (light sport aircraft) with a maintenance rating.

A&P—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible individual who holds a mechanic certificate with airframe and/or powerplant rating.

Task-Specific—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible individual who holds the required level of certification (Owner/Pilot, LSA-RM, A&P) and in addition has received task-specific training to perform the task.
