Concerning Burt’s comment on the FAA exemption letter for non A&Ps to assemble gliders... anybody know where to find it on the SSA site?


Glider Assembly Exemption.
An aircraft logbook entry is not required for assembling a glider.

From the FAA Glider Flying Handbook, page 6-2 (8083-13A, the current edition):
“The assembly of a glider to include the installation of glider wings and tail surfaces is classified as operations functions not preventative maintenance.
This information can be found in Amendment 43-27, published in 52 FR 17276, May 6, 1987 which is an amendment to 14 CFR part 43.”
The FAA considers that training in assembling a glider is part of the mandatory glider pre-solo training requirements in CFR 61.87(i)(13). Therefore, it not a part 43 preventative maintenance action which would require a logbook entry, but a normal operational action and no logbook entry is required.
