Transfer of maintenance
records.
Any owner or operator who sells a
U.S.-registered aircraft shall transfer
to the purchaser, at the time of sale,
the following records of that aircraft,
in plain language form or in coded form
at the election of the purchaser, if the
coded form provides for the preserva-
tion and retrieval of information in a
manner acceptable to the Adminis-
trator:
(a) The records specified in
§ 91.417(a)(2).
(b) The records specified in
§ 91.417(a)(1) which are not included in
the records covered by paragraph (a) of
this section, except that the purchaser
may permit the seller to keep physical
custody of such records. However, cus-
tody of records by the seller does not
relieve the purchaser of the responsi-
bility under § 91.417(c) to make the
records available for inspection by the
Administrator or any authorized rep-
resentative of the National Transpor-
tation Safety Board (NTSB).
§ 91.421
Rebuilt engine maintenance
records.

by an agency approved by the manufac-
turer.
(b) Each manufacturer or agency
that grants zero time to an engine re-
built by it shall enter in the new
record—
(1) A signed statement of the date the
engine was rebuilt;
(2) Each change made as required by
airworthiness directives; and
(3) Each change made in compliance
with manufacturer’s service bulletins,
if the entry is specifically requested in
that bulletin.
(c) For the purposes of this section, a
rebuilt engine is a used engine that has
been completely disassembled, in-
spected, repaired as necessary, reas-
sembled, tested, and approved in the
same manner and to the same toler-
ances and limits as a new engine with
either new or used parts. However, all
parts used in it must conform to the
production drawing tolerances and lim-
its for new parts or be of approved
oversized or undersized dimensions for
a new engine.
