1-20 R66 Maintenance Authorization
Only appropriately certificated mechanics who have successfully completed an R66
factory-sponsored maintenance course, or are under direct supervision of the above-
stated mechanic, are authorized to perform maintenance, repairs, or inspections on the
R66 helicopter. Annual inspections of U.S.-registered light helicopters must be performed
by holders of an Inspection Authorization (IA) certificate 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 R66 Pilot’s Operating Handbook
and applicable aviation regulations.
1-30 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.
1-40 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 Turbine 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.
RHC’s 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).
