HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
CESSNA INSPECTION PROGRAMS
CESSNA
MODEL 182S
In lieu of the 100 hour and annual inspection requirements, an
airplane may be inspected in accordan ce with a Progressive Care
I
inspection Program or a PhaseCard Inspection Program. Both
programs offer systems which allow the work load to be divided into
smaller operations that can be accomplished in shorter tim e
periods.
I
The Cessna Progressive Care Inspection Program allows an
airplane to be inspected and maintained in four operations. The four
operations are recycl ed each 200 hours and are recorded in a
specially provided Aircraft Inspection Log as each operation is
conducted.
I
The Phase Card Inspection Program offers a parallel system fo r
high-utilization flight operations (approximately 600 fl ight 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 selected, 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 recomm ended inspections.
CESSNA CUSTOMER CARE PROGRAM
Specific benefits and provisions of the Cessna Warranty plus
other important benefits for you are contained in your Customer
I
care Program Handbook supplied with your airplane . The Customer
Care Program Handbook should be thoroughly reviewed and kept in
the airplane at all times.
I
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
l
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.
