FAR 91.1113 — Maintenance Recordkeeping
FAR 91.1113 requires fractional ownership program managers to keep maintenance records per §91.417(a) for the periods in §91.417(b). Study guide for pilots.
FAR 91.1113 sets the maintenance recordkeeping rule for fractional ownership program managers — the company that runs a fractional aircraft program (think NetJets-style operations).
The rule is short but important. The program manager must:
- Keep the maintenance records listed in §91.417(a) — this includes records of maintenance, preventive maintenance, alterations, inspections, AD compliance, and the current status of life-limited parts.
- Retain those records for the time periods specified in §91.417(b) — some records (like the current inspection status and AD compliance) must be kept until the work is repeated or superseded; others (like total time in service and overhaul status) must be transferred with the aircraft when sold.
- Use the recordkeeping system described in the program manager's manual required by §91.1025.
Why it matters operationally: Even though fractional operations fall under Subpart K, the underlying maintenance documentation standard is the same as Part 91 General. As a pilot flying these aircraft, you rely on these records to verify airworthiness before flight.
