AOPA online seminar: Introduction to European aircraft maintenance for pilots and owners

The seminar takes place online from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. A good WiFi connection and a tablet or computer with a webcam or smartphone are required to participate.

Although a pilot and aircraft owner may release certain maintenance tasks under European maintenance law via pilot-owner maintenance, the maintenance of aircraft is neither part of the LAPL, nor PPL syllabus. The aircraft owner has to find his way through the jungle of European maintenance regulations independently and gather his information.
