Guides, cheat sheets & plan

Who may sign what, which inspection is due, what goes in the logbook, and what MOSAIC changed for light-sport — as tables and diagrams instead of walls of regulation text. Built for the FAA Light-Sport Repairman (maintenance & inspection) course and the A&P mechanic knowledge tests. Every rule cited to 14 CFR or FAA guidance; regulation text checked against the eCFR as of October 4, 2026.

How to use this site

1. Start with Who may do what — nearly every regulations question is really "who is allowed to do this, on which aircraft?"

2. Read the Part 43 and Part 65 guides once, then work the questions and flashcards daily.

3. Light-sport students: read MOSAIC before → after early. Anything you learned from pre-2025 material about 1,320 lb, 120-hour courses or safety-directive compliance is out of date.

4. Gate for test day: two consecutive timed sets at 85%+. The pass mark is 70; the margin covers wording you haven't seen.
