SERVICING
In
addition
to
the
PREFLIGHT
INSPECTION
covered
in
Section
4,
COMPLETE
servicing,
inspection,
and
test
requirements
for
your
airplane
are
detailed
in
the
Service
Manual.
The
Service
Manual
outlines
all
items
which
require
attention
at
specific
intervals
plus
those
items
which
require
servicing,
inspection,
and/or
testing
at
special
intervals.
Since
Cessna
Dealers
conduct
all
service,
inspection,
and
test
proce-
dures
in
accordance
with
applicable
Service
Manuals,
it
is
recommended
that
you
contact
your
Cessna
Dealer
concerning
these
requirements
and
begin
scheduling
your
airplane
for
service
at
the
recommended
intervals.
Cessna
Progressive
Care
ensures
that
these
requirements
are
accomp-
lished
at
the
required
intervals
to
comply
with
the
100-hour
or
ANNUAL
inspection
as
previously
covered
.
.
Depending
on
various
flight
operations,
your
local
Government
Aviation
Agency
may
require
additional
service,
inspections,
or
tests.
For
these
regulatory
requirements,
owners
should
check
with
local
aviation
officials
where
the
airplane
is
being
operated.
For
quick
and
ready
reference,
quantities,
materials,
and
specifica-
tions
for
frequently
used
service
items
are
