From what I now find out, Michael is absolutely correct.
In the 80's this was amended so gliders didn't have
to record the assembly/disassembly in a logbook.

I thought they did, as we've done so locally (I've
seen the notations in our logs). Come to find out this isn't
required (due to the amendment). Funny, I was asked about
this on my CFIG checkride from the FAA guy, and
I said log it, and he didn't disagree. It seems
this means it's ok to log it, but it isn't required.

If I had a quarter for every time I'm spectacularly wrong...

Is the airworthiness OK if the aircraft was disassembled,
and then flown without logging reassembly and
43.5 "approval for return to service?" If I was an insurer, depending
on the size of the claim, I might argue it was unairworthy.


This has been hashed out over and over again. There is NO requirement to
log normal glider assembly and disassembly. NONE. Look it up. This is NOT
considered a maintenance action but a part of normal operations. The FAA,
somewhere, even has made an official statement to exactly this effect.

Please stop inventing "requirements" for others to follow.

Michael, thanks for being polite enough to say please!
Quite polite and a lot of restraint here on RAS...
