Title:
Grosse Ile Municipal Airport (KONZ) - Safety Outreach Seminar
Topic:
Pilot/Aircraft Owner/Operator /Mechanic Relations
Date and Time:
Thursday, October 15, 2026, starting at 14:00 Eastern Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Zachary Ortiz and Leo Burke
Brief Description:

Aircraft owners and pilots rely on certificated aircraft mechanics and inspectors for continued airworthiness of their aircraft.  Many owners are unaware of their own airworthiness responsibilities. This program introduces Owner/Pilot/Mechanic responsibilities and authorities with respect to continued airworthiness and it offers suggestions for evaluating maintenance facilities and personnel.

Teaching Points:

  • Although owners and pilots rely on mechanics to maintain and inspect their aircraft, the owner or operator is responsible for airworthiness.
  • Required maintenance documentation is an important source of airworthiness information.
  • Optional maintenance documentation makes airworthiness determinations easier.
  • Owners and operators should carefully evaluate the maintenance facilities, personnel, and equipment used for maintenance and inspection of their aircraft.
