Any maintenance is required by FAA Regulations to be done by an A&P mechanic. Even something as mundane as lubrication. There is no requirement to have flight control surfaces inspected post wash, but it certainly wouldn`t hurt to have an FAA licensed A&P mechanic have a look at it.

Its not really required to be done by an A&P, just signed off by one. I dont think you would find too many A&Ps that would sign off work for someone they dont know, at least this one would not.

Dad used to have a 172 on lease back at a local FBO back in the `70`s and 80`s. We had a hard time getting the FBO`s A&P`s to even sign off on us changing the oil. Eventually they let us do it... in return for a discount on renting the plane.

I am never taking a plane job, it sounds damn complicated

Someone else has posted that it might require you to have a rider policy added to your business insurance of 2-3 MILLION dollars (no Dr.Evil impression needed) if other planes are around in a hanger. If for some reason you cause an incident that involves damage to other planes, you could be held liable.

Not trying to keep you from doing planes, but some airport facilities won`t even let you enter to work within a hanger facility unless you can prove that you have this insurance or are bonded (self-insured and/or worth that much) to cover such a liability. Something else to keep in mind!

Ensure that you comply with HS&E regulations and any other (local) airport requirements. Check that your insurance cover is both adequate and up to date. You will also need an airport permit, water reclamation an absolute must unless youâ€™re doing a â€˜dry washâ€™. Before you start, contact both the airport manager and the fixed base operator (FBO) on the field
