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 Aircraft Maintenance
Manual.

100-Hour Inspection

If the airplane is used commercially, in addition to the Annual
Inspection requirement, the Federal Aviation Regulations 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. The
inspection is listed, in detail, in Chapter 5 of the Aircraft Maintenance
Manual.

Cirrus Design Progressive Inspection Program

In lieu of the above requirements, an airplane may be inspected using
a Progressive Inspection Program in accordance with the Federal
Aviation Regulation Part 91.409.
The Cirrus Design Progressive Inspection Program provides for the
complete inspection of the airplane utilizing a five-phase cyclic
inspection program. A total of eight inspections are accomplished over
the course of 400 flight hours, with an inspection occurring every 50
flight hours. The inspection items to be covered in the Progressive
Inspection are very similar to the Annual Inspection items. The
Progressive Inspection will accomplish a full Inspection of the airplane
at 400 flight hours or at 12 calendar months. The inspection is listed, in
detail, in Chapter 5 of the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
