In. addition to the required ANNUAL inspection, aircraft operated
commercially (for hire) must have a complete inspection every 100 hours
of operation.
In. lieu of the above requirements, an aircraft may be inspected in
accordance with a progressive inspection schedule, which allows the work
load to be divided into smaller operations that can be accomplished in
shorter time periods.
The CESSNA PROGRESSIVE CARE PROGRAM has been developed to
provide a modern progressive inspection schedule that satisfies the com
