Hi,

I recently lost my mechanic to an unfortunate air crash.

I have performed virtually all of the oil changes on my
aircraft for the last 7 years, under his supervision. Now
I am interested in taking over this task.

This group has several posts to the effect that it is
FAR legal to perform this by owner. However, I don't find
this under the "32 points" in part 43 appendix A.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

It is a little hard to find. It is in 43 Appendix A on their page 860 and
861, just after "Appliance Major Repairs". I got completely lost in their
paragraph numbering scheme as at that section of the FAR the paragraph
numbers are about 6 deep. The next paragraph after "Appliance Major
Repairs" is "Preventive Maintenance" and indeed is 32 items long.

Also 43.3(g) says an pilot and owner of an aircraft can do the items spelled
out above.

Regards,
John Severyn
