GENERAL / GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 2-5 CHANGE C5 ICON A5 / MAINTENANCE MANUAL CHAPTER 2 2.3 General Safety Information The personal safety and health of operators are of primary importance to ICON Aircraft. Maintenance personnel should comply with regulatory standards and best practices for occupational safety. It is important to take adequate precautions regarding the use of any hazardous chemicals specified in your work area. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemicals specified in this manual are avail- able online. Maintenance personnel are responsible for keeping themselves informed of workplace hazards, participating in training, following all applicable safety policies and procedures, and promptly reporting hazards and accidents to their supervisor. Maintenance personnel should pay particular attention to the ergonomic set up of work stations, desks, computers and other daily use equipment. If you spend long periods of time using a computer, other office equipment, or perform any type of repetitive motion during the course of your work, be sure to change your position at least once every half hour to avoid eye strain, back and neck strain, and repetitive injuries such as carpal tunnel. Remember to always use proper lifting techniques which may include: using leg muscles rather than back muscles, team lifts and inspect items to be moved for protruding nails, slivers, sharp edges, etc., before handling. 2-6 GENERAL / MAINTENANCE TERMINOLOGY AND ABBREVIATIONS ICON A5 / MAINTENANCE MANUAL CHANGE C5 CHAPTER 2 2.4 Maintenance Terminology and Abbreviations Condition Inspection A detailed inspection accomplished once in the preceding 12 calendar months on an LSA in accordance with instructions provided in the maintenance manual supplied with the aircraft.

Also defined is the hierarchy of those certification levels and task-specific training. 2-12 GENERAL / MAINTENANCE SYSTEM FOR LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT ICON A5 / MAINTENANCE MANUAL CHANGE C5 CHAPTER 2 RELATED I NFORMATION: "Organization and Structure of This Manual" on page 2-9 2.6.5.1 Task-Specific Training Task-specific training is specified for those tasks where specialized knowledge of the A5 is required in order to accomplish the task properly. All maintenance must be performed by factory-authorized personnel who have completed ICON training. At this time, there are no maintenance, repair, or alteration tasks for the A5 which require task-specific training. 2.6.5.2 Minimum Levels of Certification A minimum level of certification is specified for each task in the manual. The levels are Owner/Pilot, LSA Repairman Maintenance (LSA-RM), or A&P mechanic. In addition to these levels of certification, any task may also require task-specific training. Owner/Pilot—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible owner who holds at least a Sport Pilot certificate but who has not received any specific authorized training. LSA Repairman Maintenance (LSA-RM)—Items that can be expected to be completed on a SLSA by a responsible individual, who holds an FAA repairman certificate (light sport aircraft) with a mainte- nance rating. A&P—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible individual who holds a mechanic certificate with airframe and/or powerplant rating. Task-Specific—Items that can be expected to be completed by a responsible individual who holds the required level of certification (Owner/Pilot, LSA-RM, A&P) and in addition has received task-specific training to perform the task. 2.6.5.3 Level of Certification Hierarchy Each task requires definition of a level of certification. There is, however, no inherent hierarchy between these levels. The following listing defines a hierarchy for the purposes of this A5 mainte- nance manual that gives the limitation of each level. • Owner/Pilot can perform only the tasks explicitly listed with the Owner/Pilot. • LSA-RM can perform tasks that list any of Owner/Pilot or LSA-RM. • A&P can perform tasks that list any of Owner/Pilot, LSA-RM, or A&P. • For any of the above, if a task indicates ‘Yes’ for the task-specific requirement, then the training specified is required in addition to the level of certification (e.g. LSA-RM + task-specific).
