CESSNA SECTION 8
MODEL 172S NAV III HANDLING, SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
PILOT CONDUCTED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A certified pilot who owns or operates an airplane not used as an air
carrier is authorized by FAR Part 43 to perform limited maintenance
on his airplane. Refer to FAR Part 43 for a list of the specific
maintenance operations which are allowed.
NOTE
Pilots operating airplanes of other than U.S. registry
should refer to the regulations of the country of
certification for information on preventive
maintenance that may be performed by pilots.
A Maintenance Manual must be obtained prior to performing any
preventive maintenance to ensure that proper procedures are
followed. A Cessna Service Station should be contacted for further
information or for required maintenance which must be
accomplished by appropriately licensed personnel.
