SECTION 8 CESSNA
HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE MODEL 182T
CESSNA INSPECTION PROGRAMS
In lieu of the 100 hour and annual inspection requirements, an
airplane may be inspected in accordance with a Progressive Care
Inspection Program or a PhaseCard Inspection Program. Both
programs offer systems which allow the work load to be divided into
smaller operations that can be accomplished in shorter time
periods.
The Cessna Progressive Care Inspection Program allows an
airplane to be inspected and maintained in four operations. The four
operations are recycled each 200 hours and are recorded in a
specially provided Aircraft Inspection Log as each operation is
conducted.
The PhaseCard Inspection Program offers a parallel system for
high-utilization flight operations (approximately 600 flight hours per
year). This system utilizes 50 hour intervals (Phase 1 and Phase 2)
to inspect high-usage systems and components. At 12 months or
600 flight hours, whichever occurs first, the airplane undergoes a
complete (Phase 3) inspection.
Regardless of the inspection method selected, the owner should
keep in mind that FAR Part 43 and FAR Part 91 establishes the
requirement that properly certified agencies or personnel
accomplish all required FAA inspections and most of the
manufacturer recommended inspections.
CESSNA CUSTOMER CARE PROGRAM
Specific benefits and provisions of the Cessna Warranty plus
other important benefits for you are contained in your Customer
Care Program Handbook supplied with your airplane. The Customer
Care Program Handbook should be thoroughly reviewed and kept in
the airplane at all times.
You will also want to return to your Cessna Service Station either
at 50 hours for your first Progressive Care Operation, or at 100
hours for your first 100 hour inspection depending on which
program you choose to establish for your airplane. While these
important inspections will be performed for you by any Cessna
Service Station, in most cases you will prefer to have the Cessna
Service Station from whom you purchased the airplane accomplish
this work.
