PERIODS
FAA
REQUIRED
INSPECTIONS
As
required
by
Federal
Aviation
Regulations,
all
civil
aircraft
of
U.S.
registry
must
undergo
a
complete
inspection
(annual)
each
twelve
calend-
ar
months.
In
addition
to
the
required
ANNUAL
inspection,
aircraft
operated
commercially
(for
hire)
must
have
a
complete
inspection
every
100
hours
of
operation.
The
FAA
may
require
other
inspections
by
the
issuance
of
airworthi-
ness
directives
applicable
to
the
airplane,
engine,
propeller
and
compo-
nents.
It
is
the
responsibility
of
the
owner/operator
to
ensure
compliance
with
all
applicable
airworthiness
directives
and,
when
the
inspections
are
repetitive,
to
take
appropriate
steps
to
prevent
inadvertent
noncom-
pliance.
In
lieu
of
the
100
HOUR
and
ANNUAL
inspection
requirements,
an
airplane
may
be
inspected
in
accordance
with
a
progressive
inspection
