1.002 R22 Maintenance Authorization
Only appropriately certificated mechanics who have successfully completed an R22
factory-sponsored maintenance course, or are under direct supervision of the above-stated
mechanic, may perform maintenance, repairs, or inspections on R22-series helicopters.
Annual inspections of U.S.-registered light helicopters must be performed by holders of
an Inspection Authorization (IA) or by repair stations certificated by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). The daily preflight and some preventive maintenance may be
performed by the above-stated mechanics, or by the pilot/owner after receiving appropriate
instruction in accordance with the R22 Pilot’s Operating Handbook and applicable aviation
regulations.
1.003 R22 Component Maintenance Authorization
Only appropriately certificated mechanics who have successfully completed both a factory-
sponsored maintenance course and component maintenance course, and who possess
technical data supplied by RHC, are authorized to perform maintenance specified in the
Component Maintenance Manual (CMM). Component maintenance may only be performed
at an RHC-authorized Service Center that has required special tools.
1.004 Maintenance Record
The Airframe Maintenance Record is available online at www.robinsonheli.com.
Airframe Maintenance Record blank PDF forms may be used for R22-series, R44-series, and
R66-series helicopters. Component Record blank PDF forms may be used for life-limited
or TBO components. Blank paper copies are available for purchase (P/N R8478 Airframe
Maintenance Record and P/N R8479 Component Record [pack of 20]).
A Component Record is a maintenance record of the removals, installations, or maintenance
performed on a life-limited or TBO component. When a life-limited or TBO component is
installed in the helicopter, the Component Record card is inserted in the Airframe Maintenance
Record. When a life-limited or TBO component is removed from the helicopter, remove the
Component Record card and keep the card with the Component. Major assemblies may
contain one or more life-limited or TBO component.
RHC encourages operators to utilize Component Record cards to assist in tracking time on
interchangeable parts since service lives may be different between models.
RHC does not create Component Record cards for spares, however, operators may create
their own.
RHCs Repair Station does not require a Component Record card in order to perform work
on a component, unlike a Component/Return Authorization form.
RHC recommends using a toner-based laser, or a pigment-based inkjet, color printer and 65
lb white (96 bright) premium card stock for Maintenance Record or Component Record card
production. Maintenance Record binders and tab sets are available separately (P/N R8656
Maintenance Record Binder and P/N R8650 Maintenance Record Tabs).
