Airplane Inspection Periods
FAR 91.409 requires that all aircraft must undergo a thorough annual
inspection meeting the requirements of FAR 43. Annual inspections
are based upon calendar months and are due on the last day of the
twelfth month following the last annual inspection. For example: If an
annual inspection were performed on 19 November 1998, the next
annual inspection will be due 30 November 1999. Annual inspections
must be accomplished regardless of the number of hours flown the
previous year and can only be performed by a licensed Airframe and
Powerplant (A&P) mechanic holding an Inspection Authorization (IA).
All Cirrus Authorized Service Centers can perform annual inspections.
The inspection is listed, in detail, in Chapter 5 of the Cirrus Design
SR20 Maintenance Manual.
If the airplane is used commercially, in addition to the annual
inspection requirement, the regulation requires that the airplane
undergo a 100-hour inspection each 100 hours of flight operation. The
scope of the 100-hour inspection is identical to the annual inspection
except that it can be accomplished by a licensed A&P mechanic. The
100-hour interval may be exceeded by not more than 10 flight hours in
order to reach a place where the inspection can be accomplished. Any
flight hours used to reach an inspection station must be deducted from
the next 100-hour inspection interval.
