section 43.15, requiring that each person performing an  inspection under 14 CFR part 91 on a rotorcraft shall  inspect these additional components in accordance with  the maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued  Airworthiness of the manufacturer concerned: An A&P or an appropriately rated repair station can perform  the condition inspection on any of these aircraft. The  FAA issues repairman certificates to individuals who are  the builder of an amateur-built aircraft, which authorizes  performance of the condition inspection. Additionally,  repairman certificates can be issued to individuals for  conducting inspections on light sport aircraft. There are two  ratings available for light sport repairman certificate, each  with different privileges as described in 14 CFR part 65,  section 65.107, but both ratings authorize the repairman to  conduct the annual condition inspection.  The operating limitations issued to the aircraft also require  that the condition inspection be recorded in the aircraft  maintenance records. The following or similarly worded  statement is used: The operator of a turbine-powered helicopter can elect to have  it inspected under 14 CFR part 91, section 91.409: “I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on [insert  date] per the [insert either: scope and detail of 14 CFR part  43, Appendix D; or manufacturer’s inspection procedures]  and was found to be in a condition for safe operation.” The  entry will include the aircraft’s total time-in-service (cycles  if appropriate), and the name, signature, certificate number,  and type of certificate held by the person performing the  inspection. When performing any of the above inspections, the additional  performance rules under 14 CFR part 43, section 43.15, for  rotorcraft must be complied with. Light sport aircraft and aircraft that are certificated in the  experimental category are issued a Special Airworthiness  Certificate by the FAA. Operating limitations are issued to  these aircraft as a part of the Special Airworthiness Certificate  that specify the required inspections and inspection intervals  for the aircraft. Light Sport Aircraft and Aircraft Certificated as  Experimental  1.  The drive shaft or similar systems 2.  The main rotor transmission gear box for obvious  defects 3.  The main rotor and center section (or the equivalent  area) 4.  The auxiliary rotor 1.  Annual inspection  2.  100-hour inspection, when being used for compensation  or hire. 3.  A progressive inspection, when authorized by the  FAA. 4.  An inspection program listed under 14 CFR part  91, section 91.409 (f), when selected by the owner/ operator and the selection is recorded in the aircraft  maintenance records (14 CFR part 91, section  91.409(e)). Typically, the operating limitations issued to these aircraft  require that a condition inspection be performed once  every 12 months. If the aircraft is used for compensation  or hire (e.g., towing a glider, flight training), then it must  also be inspected each 100 hours. A condition inspection is  equivalent to the scope and detail of an annual inspection,  the requirements of which are outlined in 14 CFR part 43,  Appendix D. 2-68
