MAINTENANCE
review your Customer Care Program book and keep it in your airplane at
all times.
Coupons attached to the Program book entitle you to an initial
inspection and either a Progressive Care Operation No.1 or the first 100-
hour inspection within the first 6 months of ownership at no charge to you.
If
you take delivery from your Dealer, the initial inspection will have been
performed before delivery of the airplane to you. If you pick up your
airplane at the factory, plan to take it to your Dealer reasonably soon after
you take delivery, so the initial inspection may be performed allowing the
Dealer to make any minor adjustments which may be necessary.
You will also want to return to your Dealer either at 50hours for your
first Progressive Care Operation, or at 100hours 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 Dealer, in most cases you will prefer to have the Dealer 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 certifica-
tion for information on preventive maintenance that may
be performed by pilots.
A Service Manual should be obtained prior to performing any preven-
tive maintenance to ensure that proper procedures are followed. Your
Cessna Dealer should be contacted for further information or for required
maintenance which must be accomplished by appropriately licensed
personnel.
ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS
It is essential that the FAA be contacted prior to any alterations on the
airplane to ensure that airworthiness of the airplane is not violated.
