Abstract: Without a requirement for owners and operators of light-sport aircraft to retain and transfer current status records of applicable safety directives, owners, operators, and FAA safety inspectors are not be able to easily determine whether maintenance actions critical to flight safety have been accomplished on special light-sport aircraft. The FAA regulations (§91.417 (a)(2)(v)) require owners or operators to retain these records.
