So let's suppose I want to overhaul some big nasty Lycoming with an

integral

supercharger and a planetary-type prop reduction gear. Per CFR Part 43
Appendix A, this is a powerplant major repair.

Wouldn't you need an IA to go along with the A&P to perform this
operation?



No, you would need the IA for return to service. The A&P can DO the
overhaul; the IA is needed for return to service.

Ackshully, you would need an appropriately rated pilot for return to
service. You'd need an IA to approve the engine for return to service.
And yes, the pilot is supposed to make an engine log entry.
