Are Flight Engineers allowed to carry out and certify for aircraft maintenance?
Yes. Flight Engineers are restricted to the same maintenance tasks that pilots are permitted to perform on aircraft in an AOC operation. Part 42 obliges flight engineers to record, perform and certify the maintenance they perform, in the same way as any other individual carrying out maintenance. Further to these requirements, a flight engineer must be, appropriately trained and must be authorised by a CAMO to carry out this maintenance.
