Airworthiness Directives

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness
Directives (ADs) that apply to specific aircraft and aircraft appliances or
accessories. ADs are mandatory changes and must be complied with within
a time limit set forth in the AD. Operators should periodically check with
Cirrus Service Centers or A&P mechanic to verify receipt of the latest
issued AD for their airplane.

Airplane Inspection Periods

14 CFR 1.1 defines time in service, with respect to maintenance
time records, as "the time from the moment an aircraft leaves the
surface of the earth until it touches it at the next point of landing."
The #2 Hour Meter, located in the center console and labeled
FLIGHT, begins recording when the airplane reaches approxi-
mately 35 KIAS and should be used to track maintenance time
intervals as it more accurately records time in service than the #1
The inspection items specified in the Annual/100 Inspection have
been determined by the average aircraft use rate of the typical
owner. Non-commercially operated aircraft that are flown signifi-
cantly more than 100 hours per year should consider additional
inspections commensurate with the hours flown. 100-Hour
Inspection or enrollment in a Progressive Inspection Program
should be considered in addition to the normally required Annual
Inspection. The Annual Inspection interval may also be shortened

Annual Inspection

Unless enrolled in a Progressive Inspection Program, The U.S. Federal
Aviation Regulations require all civil aircraft must undergo a thorough
Annual Inspection every twelve calendar months. Annual Inspections are
due on the last day of the twelfth month following the last Annual Inspec-
tion. For example: If an Annual Inspection was performed on 19 November
