also contains the rules a certificated
repair station must follow related to
its performance of maintenance, pre-
ventive maintenance, or alterations of

propeller, appliance, or component part
to which part 43 applies. It also applies
to any person who holds, or is required
to hold, a repair station certificate
issued under this part.

ically observe and direct each worker
constantly but must be available for
consultation on matters requiring in-
struction or decision from higher au-
thority.

(d)

Line maintenance means

—

(1) Any unscheduled maintenance re-
