Readings in the sources

4 short readings for AF-D, a topic at a time: what the test asks, and the sections that cover it. Sign in to tick them off as you read.

  • 14 CFR Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14

  1. Inspection requirements, special inspections K1, K5

  2. Recordkeeping, approved data, the 100-hour entry K2, K6, S3

  3. The scope of a 100-hour inspection S2, S5

  4. Seat and seatbelt TSO markings S7

This unit's sources are regulations and the aircraft's own documents, not a handbook. Every citation is linked, as GEN-I Quick reference requires.

Elements Source
K1, K5 — inspection requirements, special inspections § 91.409 inspections — (a) annual, (b) the 100-hour rule
K2, K6, S3 — recordkeeping, approved data, the 100-hour entry 14 CFR part 43 — § 43.9 for maintenance records and § 43.11 for inspection records, which are different sections
S2, S5 — the scope of a 100-hour inspection Part 43 appendix D — the operative scope document
K3, S4 — AD compliance The FAA AD database, and the aircraft's compliance record
K4 — life-limited parts The aircraft's ICA and TCDS
K7 — service letters, bulletins, ICA Manufacturer publications
K8 — CFRs applicable to inspection and airworthiness The structure of 14 CFR — GEN-I Concepts
K9 — corrosion types FAA-H-8083-30B, via GEN-G
S7 — seat and seatbelt TSO markings The TSO marking on the article, and 14 CFR part 91
R2 — visual inspection and where to apply it FAA-H-8083-30B chapter 10, Visual Inspection and Nondestructive Inspection/Testing, via GEN-K — the risk is treating a look as a method
R4 — selection and use of checklists and other publications Part 43 appendix D sets the scope; FAA-H-8083-30B chapter 10, Checklists and Publications, covers their use. A checklist is one person's rendering of appendix D and a bad one silently narrows the inspection

Every provision cited on this page was read against eCFR on 28 August 2026 and recorded in regulatory-citations.json. our regulatory citation check checks that each is linked, that the link points at the provision the text names, and that it is registered. § 43.9 and § 43.11 are different sections and this page previously named them together without distinguishing them: maintenance records are made under the first, inspection records under the second.

What is not here

No handbook teaches this unit. It is GEN-I applied to an actual airplane with an actual logbook, and the only way to learn it is with both in front of you.
