lation question that we get often in the
AOPA Pilot Information Center:
I'm renting a Piper Arrow from the
local flight school to brush up on some complex aircraft operations. When reviewing
the aircraft's inspections, I discovered that
in less than one hour it's going to be due
for a 100-hour inspection. I had planned to
make a day out of the flight, certainly flying
more than an hour. Can I take this flight as
planned or do I have to cancel?
We get various versions of this question, but in this instance you're good to
go on this flight. Since you're renting the
aircraft, you're the pilot (one is not being
provided), and the aircraft is not being
operated to carry someone for hire, the
inspection can be overflown. Before the
aircraft is offered for flight instruction
again, however, the 100-hour inspection
needs to be completed.
FAR 91.409 covers this topic but isn't
as clear as it could be. Several letters of
interpretation from the FAA's Office of
Chief Counsel cover this topic; one of the
most recent ones was issued in 2014 to
Greenwood-Fly By Knight Inc. This letter
of interpretation covers several scenarios concerning 100-hour inspections and
gives us a better idea of how to comply
with the regulatory requirements.
FAA letters of interpretation are a
great source of information on regulatory questions. Chances are if you have
a question, someone else has had a similar one, and there might be a letter of
interpretation out there that can provide
some guidance. You can also reach out
to AOPA's Pilot Information Center for
help with your questions as well by calling 1-800-USA-AOPA or by emailing us at
