When separate maintenance records for airframe, powerplant(s), and propeller(s) are maintained, where is the entry for a completed 100-hour inspection recorded?

When separate maintenance records are kept for the airframe, powerplant(s), and propeller(s), the entry for a completed 100-hour inspection must be recorded in each respective record. This approach ensures that accurate and detailed documentation is maintained for every part of the aircraft that has undergone inspection or maintenance. Since each component – the airframe, powerplant, and propeller – is treated as an individual entity, it is essential for compliance and traceability that the details of the inspection are noted specifically where relevant.

This record-keeping practice aligns with regulatory requirements, facilitating audits and inspections by aviation authorities or maintenance personnel, while also providing clear evidence of maintenance history for the aircraft's individual components. By documenting the 100-hour inspection in the specific record associated with the airframe, powerplant, and propeller, operators can maintain the integrity and reliability of the aircraft's maintenance history effectively.
