AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS
FAA REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
As required by Federal Aviation Regulations, all civil aircraft of U.S.
registry must undergo a complete inspection (annual) each twelve calend
ar months. In addition to the required ANNUAL inspection, aircraft
operated commercially (for hire) must have a complete inspection every
100 hours of operation.
The FAA may require other inspections by the issuance of airworthi
ness directives applicable to the airplane, engine, propeller and compo
nents. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure compliance
with all applicable airworthiness directives and, when the inspections are
repetitive, to take appropriate steps to prevent inadvertent noncom
pliance.
In lieu of the 100 HOUR and ANNUAL inspection requirements, an
airplane may be inspected in accordance with a progressive inspection
schedule, which allows the work load to be divided into smaller operations
that can be accomplished in shorter time periods.
