Engine runup also helps to eliminate excessive accumulation of water in the fuel system and
other air spaces in the engine. Keep fuel tanks full to minimize condensation in the tanks.
Keep the battery fully charged to prevent the electrolyte from freezing in cold weather. If the
airplane is to be stored temporarily, or indefinitely, refer to the Service Manual for proper
storage procedures.
SERVICING
In addition to the PREFLIGHT INSPECTION covered in Section 4, COMPLETE servicing,
inspection, and test requirements for your airplane are detailed in the Service manual. The
Service Manual outlines all items which require attention at 50, 100, and 200 hour intervals
plus those items which require servicing, inspection, and/or testing at special intervals.
Since Cessna Dealers conduct all service, inspection, and test procedures in accordance with
applicable Service Manuals, it is recommended that you contact your Cessna Dealer
concerning these requirements and begin scheduling your airplane for service at the
recommended intervals.
Cessna Progressive Care ensures that these requirements are accomplished at the required
intervals to comply with the 100-hour or ANNUAL inspection as previously covered.
Depending on various flight operations, your local Government Aviation Agency may require
additional service, inspections, or tests. For these regulatory requirements, owners should
check with local aviation officials where the airplane is being operated.
For quick and ready reference, quantities, materials, and specifications for frequently used
service items are as follows.
