CESSNA INSPECTION PROGRAMS
CESSNA
MODE~172S
In lieu of the 100 hour and annual inspection requirements, an
•airPlane may. be ins.pected in accordance with a Progressive Care
Inspection Program or a PhaseCard Inspection Program. Both
programs offer systems which allow the work load to .be.dividedinto
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
.speciaJly..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 selectee!;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. .
