1. DESCRIPTION

These inspections meet the intent of 14 CFR § 91.409 and Part 43, Appendix D. In addition to the inspec-
tions prescribed by this schedule, the altimeter instrument and static system and all ATC transponders
MUST be tested and inspected at 24-month intervals in compliance with the requirements specified in 14
CFR § 91.411 and 91.413.
The owner and/or operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition.
This includes compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives. It is further the responsibility of the
owner or operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected as specified in Parts 43 and 91 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations. This inspection guide is not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such guide can
replace the good judgment of a certified airframe and power plant mechanic. As the one primarily respon-
sible for the airworthiness of the airplane, the owner or operator should select only qualified personnel to
maintain the airplane.
While this guide may be used as an outline, detailed information of the many systems and components in
the airplane will be found in the various chapters of the Maintenance Manual and pertinent vendor publica-
tions. It is recommended that reference be made to the applicable Maintenance Handbooks, Service
Instructions, applicable FAA Regulations and Publications, Vendor's Bulletins and Vendor's Specifications
for torque values, clearances, settings, tolerances, and other requirements. It is the responsibility of the
owner or operator to ensure that the airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has
access to the previously noted documents as well as to this inspection guide.

2. INSPECTION GROUPS AND CRITERIA

Note: Wherever an inspection is directed to a specific part or component, it is implied that the
inspection will include observation and evaluation of the surrounding area of parts and
equipment.

nance action, the following visual inspection criteria shall be accomplished without requiring disassem-

els, fairings, or cowlings. The visual inspection shall include an examination by area, component,
detail, assembly, or installation, as well as any associated equipment within the immediate vicinity,
using any inspection aids considered necessary. When performing an annual or 100-hour inspection,
each installed miscellaneous item not covered in the following Scheduled Inspection Report shall be
inspected for improper installation and improper operation.
Visual Inspection criteria will normally consist of, but are not limited to, the following criteria:
