P&E

SAVVY

something wrong during your preflight
or your post-maintenance test flight, your
mechanic will be available to fix it then and
there. Pickup should be early enough in the
day that if you encounter a problem on the
flight home, you'll have the option to fly
back to the shop to get it resolved.
Don't pick up your airplane on a
Friday if you can avoid it. Things tend
to get frantic at maintenance shops on
Friday afternoons. That's when everyone
else wants to pick up their airplane so they
can have it for the weekend. (This goes triple if it's a holiday weekend.) Mechanics
tend to be under lots of pressure on Friday
afternoons to button up airplanes and get
them out the door, with lots of distractions caused by customers arriving and
departing, so the likelihood of mechanic
mistakes-especially errors of omission-is highest. That's why it's smart to
schedule your pickup on any workday
other than Friday.
ONE LAST THING

Finally, never pick up your airplane from
maintenance unless you also pick up a
signed logbook entry approving the aircraft for return to service-and in the case
of an annual inspection, certifying that the
aircraft was determined to be in airworthy
condition. It is disturbingly common for
shops to deliver airplanes to owners after
maintenance with an IOU for the paperwork-especially on Fridays.
This can be a nasty trap for aircraft owners, because it sets them up for possible FAA
violations. The regulations (specifically FAR
43.9 and 43.11) require mechanics to prepare and sign logbook entries whenever
they perform maintenance on an aircraft,
but do not impose any timeliness requirement for doing this. A mechanic can take
three hours, three days, or three months to
prepare this paperwork without violating
any regulation. But if the owner flies the airplane before the logbook entry is made and
signed off, the owner is in violation of FAR
91.407. Be warned, and never accept an IOU
for a logbook entry.
