"Chett" became legal September of last year. When I turned the calendar page from Sept. to Oct. last week, Chett once again became a fugitive.

The condition inspection is mostly complete, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what wording needs to be used in the logs. I'm sure I'm not supposed to utter the phrase "annual inspection", but aside from that, what needs to be said other than descriptions of work accomplished?

There should be some language in the OPs limits regarding airworthiness and what language to use. I am not a builder so forgive me if I am wrong but I thought you had to have the repairmans certificate to sign off on your own condition inspection. If that is the case I would have thought they would go over that in the class.

I have the repairman's certificate. The "class" involved a doughnut and a cup of coffee at Dunkin.

I will check the limitations for the wording, but all I can recall is what needed to be said about the Phase 1 sign-off.

I have an EAA airframe logbook and the inspection language is printed in the front of the book.

I found this on Kitplanes, I believe this is the language I use.
I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on (date) in accordance with the scope and detail of 14CFR Part 43, Appendix D, and was found it to be in a condition for safe operation.

Sounds good to me. Judges?

I'm guessing the engine log reads pretty much the same?

looks right. Remember to also sign it.

The exact wording is in your operating limitations. You should not speculate and just copy those.

Also, you should have had to enter the identical inspection statement(s) in your aircraft and engine logbooks prior to getting your FAA inspection. At least that is what was required in my case.

The operating limitations are king. Don't go by what anyone else's limitations say. They "should" all be the same, but one never knows. Pull out your operating limitations and check to see what is necessary. There will be a paragraph in there calling out inspection requirements.

The condition inspection entry needs to be in the airframe log only. You can write something in the engine log too if you want, but the airframe log is the controlling document in the case of condition inspection.
