Also includes the functioning and maintenance aspects of the flaps, spoilers, water rudder retraction and control and other control surfaces, but does not include the structure which is covered in other systems.
07
Fuel
Those units and components which store and deliver fuel to the engine. Includes fuel pump and any associated emergency cutoff device, fuel tank, shutoff valve, filler hose/line and cap, fuel distribution tubes and hoses. Does not include fuel flow rate sensing, transmitting and/or indicating, which are covered in the Instruments system.
08
Fuselage and Vertical Tail
Structural units and associated components and members which make up the fuselage, cockpit, hull and keel, ballast provision, water rudder and water rudder guard, Seawings™, center wing section, IPS riser attachment(s), engine cowl and vertical tail including the air rudder and its hinges and counterbalance.

09
Horizontal Tail
Horizontal tail includes the structure of the elevator control surface. Includes: skins, ribs, webs, hinges and counterbalance.
10
Instruments
All sensors, indicating instruments, flight data recorder, navigation and communication units. Includes pitch trim indicator, Hobbs meter, RF antennae and cabling, communication equipment controls, headset jacks, intercom switches and auxiliary microphone input jack. Angle of Attack indicating includes the sensor and pitot-static ports and associated hose/tubing if pneumatically driven. Landing Gear Indicating – those units including position indicating and warning subsystems. Engine Indicating - Those units, components and associated subsystems which control, indicate or analyze the operation of the engine which are external to the engine system, fuel flow rate sensing, transmitting and/or indicating, and not integral to the engine assembly or covered in the Propulsion system.
11
Landing Gear
Those units and components which furnish a means of supporting and steering and stopping the aircraft on the ground and make it possible to retract and store the landing gear. Includes: wheels and tires, hydraulic components and hose/tubing, linkages, brakes, and parking brake handle and actuation mechanism. \Also includes the functioning/rigging and maintenance aspects of the nose landing gear door.
12
Placards and Markings
Those placards and markings, internal and external, required for general and emergency information, operating instructions, ground servicing instructions and inspections, cautions, warnings, airworthiness certificate location (and holder), company logos and model identification graphics; interior component paint, finishes and surface coverings; the exterior paint color scheme, associated graphics and N-numbers and the Seawing non-slip step area surface finish.
13
Propulsion
The Rotax engine assembly, ECU and Fuse Box, engine mount(s), induction air intake and associated filtering device, exhaust pipe and muffler(s). throttle position/control mechanism, extension shaft, propeller and spinner. Those units and components to control and direct the flow of lubrication and cooling fluids between the engine and heat exchangers. Including water and oil radiators, oil tank, coolant overflow tank, cylinder head cooling air intake and all associated ducting, hoses and tubing.
14
Wing
Outer wing structural units, associated components and members which support the aircraft in flight. Includes: spars, skins, ribs, flap and aileron structures and counterbalances, control surface hinges; integral or mounted aircraft/wing hand-holds, tie downs and mooring cleats; access panels for inspection and/or equipment access, mid, forward, and aft wing pins, and the landing gear position verification mirror.
15
