SECTION 8
HANDLING, SERVICE
& MAINTENANCE
The CESSNA PROGRESSIVE CARE PROO-RAM has been developed
to provide a modern progressive inspection schedule that satisfies the
complete airplane inspection requirements of both the 100 HOUR and
ANNUAL inspections as applicable to Cessna airplanes. The program
assists the owner in his responsibility to comply with all FAA inspection
requirements, while ensuring timely replacement of life-limited parts and
adherence to factory-recommended inspection intervals and maintenance
procedures.
CESSNA PROGRESSIVE CARE
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, the inspection and maintenance work load
is divided into smaller operations that can be accomplished in shorter time
periods. The operations are recorded in a specially provided Aircraft
Inspection Log as each operation is conducted.
While Progressive Care may be used on any Cessna, its benefits depend
primarily on the utilization (hours flown per year) and type of operation.
The procedures for both the Progressive Care Program and the 100-
hour/annual inspection program have been carefully worked out by the
factory and are followed by the Cessna Dealer Organization. Your Cessna
Dealer can assist you in selecting the inspection program most suitable for
your type of aircraft and operation. The complete familiarity of Cessna
Dealers with Cessna equipment and factory-approved procedures pro­
vides the highest level of serv!ce possible 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.

hour inspection within the first 6 months of ownership at no charge to you.
