Legal Question


It's common knowledge of you own an aircraft then you are allowed to perform minor mechanical work yourself (oil change, brakes, etc) without being a certified A&P mechanic. My question is if your airplane is on leaseback to a non-profit flying club operating under part 91 of the FAR's can the club operations officer perform these tasks legally? The club maintenance officer currently only facilitates the maintenance and doesn't actually do work, but we'd like him to start doing oil changes and other light repair.
