CESSNA PROGRESSIVE CARE
CESSNA
MODEL R182
The Cessna Progressive Care Program has been designed to help you
realize maximum utilization of your airplane at a minimum cost and
downtime. Under this program, your airplane is inspected and maintained
in four operations at 50-hour intervals during a 200-hour period. The
operations are recycled each 200 hours and are recorded in a specially
provided Aircraft Inspection Log as each operation is conducted.
The Cessna Aircraft Company recommends Progressive Care for
airplanes that are being flown 200 hours or more per yea]', and the 100-hour
inspection for all other airplanes. The procedures for the Progressive Care
Program and the 100-hour inspection have been carefully worked out by
the factory and are followed by the Cessna Dealer Organization. The
complete familiarity of Cessna Dealers with Cessna equipment and
factory-approved procedures provides the highest level of service possi-
ble at lower cost to Cessna owners.
Regardless of the inspection method selected by the owner, he 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 recommended inspections.
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 book supplied with your airplane. You will want to thoroughly
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 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
Yi)U
by
any Cessna Dealer, in most cases you will prefer to have the Dealer from
whom you purchased the airplane accomplish this work.
