Which 14 CFR part 43 Appendix states what maintenance actions are considered minor and major repairs?

The reference to 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix B provides clarity on what constitutes minor and major repairs for aircraft maintenance. This appendix is specifically designed to outline the criteria and examples for maintenance actions that can be classified as either minor or major.

Understanding this distinction is crucial because it determines the regulatory requirements for performing such repairs. Minor repairs can often be conducted by a certified technician without needing to follow the same level of documentation and oversight required for major repairs, which typically must involve more extensive record-keeping and may require a higher level of certification.

In contrast, the other parts do not specifically address the categorization of maintenance actions into minor and major repairs. They cover different aspects of maintenance, compliance, and certification but do not provide the specific definitions and explanations found in Appendix B. This understanding ensures that maintenance personnel can effectively follow the regulations and perform work that meets safety and compliance standards.
