Cub Crafters CC18-180 Maintenance Manual page 28

1 GENERAL
This chapter outlines the recommended intervals for:

Overhaul and replacement of components,

Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and

Annual inspections.
The Schedule is based on inspections being carried out every 50 hours with additional tasks
performed at 100, 500, and 1000 hour intervals. These intervals are recommended and are
based on normal usage under average environmental conditions. In extreme climates it will be
desirable to make these intervals shorter.
2 ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
If the aircraft is registered in the United States, Federal Aviation Regulation Part 91.409 requires
that all civil airplanes must undergo a complete inspection at least once every 12 calendar
months. An authorized maintenance person, as described in FAR Part 43.3, must perform this
inspection. A signed and dated record must be maintained as each inspection task is
completed. When the last task of the inspection has been completed, the Inspection Report is to
be signed off in the Log Book/Maintenance Record. The inspection items to be covered in the
Annual Inspection are identical to the 100-hour Inspection items. The inspection interval to the
next Annual Inspection may not exceed twelve calendar months.
3 100-HOUR INSPECTIONS
If the aircraft is operated commercially (for hire) in the U.S.A., it must also have an inspection
every 100 flight hours. The 100-hour interval between inspections should never be exceeded by
more than 10 hours, and then only if additional time is required to reach a place where the
inspection can be satisfactorily accomplished. Additionally, the time the interval was exceeded
must be included as flight hours in the next 100-hour interval. Inspection tolerances cannot be
accumulated.
4 SPECIAL CONDITIONS - CAUTIONARY NOTICE
Airplanes operated for Air Taxi operation or other than normal operation and airplanes that fly in
humid tropics or cold and damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear,
corrosion, and/or lack of lubrication. In these areas, periodic inspections should be performed
more frequently until the operator can set his own inspection periods based on experience.
The recommended periods do not constitute a guarantee that the item will reach the period
without malfunction as in-service factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
Any item on the aircraft should be repaired, overhauled, or replaced when inspection or
performances of these items reveal a potentially unserviceable or unsafe condition.
The date on the "ORIGINAL STANDARD AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE," FAA Form No.
8100-2, which is issued with a new airplane, is to be used as the basis for all inspected
