Darauf zielte meine Antwort auch ab. In Anhang VIII zu Teil-M steht:
Tasks
The Pilot-owner may carry out simple visual inspections or operations to check for general condition and obvious damage and normal operation of the airframe, engines, systems and components. Maintenance tasks shall not be carried out by the Pilot-owner when the task:
1. is a critical maintenance task; (Ist es meiner Meinung nach nicht)
2. requires the removal of major components or major assembly and/or; (Benötigt es nicht)
3. is carried out in compliance with an Airworthiness Directive or an Airworthiness Limitation Item, unless specifically allowed in the AD or the ALI and/or; (Ist es nicht)
4. requires the use of special tools, calibrated tools (except torque wrench and crimping tool) and/or; (Benötigt es nicht)
5. requires the use of test equipments or special testing (e.g. NDT, system tests or operational checks for avionic equipment) and/or; (Benötigt es nicht)
6. is composed of any unscheduled special inspections (e.g. heavy landing check) and/or; (Ist es nicht)
7. is effecting systems essential for the IFR operations and/or; (Trifft dies zu?)
8. is listed in Appendix VII to this Annex or is a component maintenance task in accordance with points M.A.502(a), (b), (c) or (d) and/or; (Ist es nicht)
9. is part of the annual or 100h check contained in the Minimum Inspection Programme described in M.A.302(i). (Ist es nicht)
Ergo ist es Teil der Pilot-Owner Maintenance und Du darfst es freigeben.
