The
Cessna
hogressive
Care
Program
has
been
designed
to help
you
realize
maximum
utilization
of
your
airplane
at a
minimum
cost
and
down-
time.
Under
this
program,
your
airplane
is
inspected
and maintained
in
four
operations
at
50-hour
intervals during
a 20O-hour
period.
The
oper-
a_tigns
are recycled
each
200
hours
and are
recorded
in
a
specially
pro-
vided
Aircraft
Inspection
Log
as
each
operation
is conducted.
The
Cessna
Aircraft
Company
recommends
Progressive
Care
for
air-
planes
that
are being
flown
200
hours
or more
per
year,
and the 100-hour
inspection
for
all other
airplanes. The
procedures
for the
Progressive
9*"
Program
and
the 100-hour
inspection
have
been
carefully
worked
out
by the
factory
and
are followed
by the
Cessna
Dealer
Organization.
The
complete
familiarity
of
Cessna Dealers
with Cessna
equipment
and
factory-
approved
procedures
provides
the highest
level
of
service
possible
at
lower
cost
to Cessna
owners.
Regardless
of the
inspection
method
selected
by the owner,
he should
keep
in
mind
that FAR
Part
43
and
FAR Part
91
establishes the
require-
rnent
that
properly
certified
agencies or
personnel
accomplish
all
required
FAA
inspections
ard
most
of
the
manufacturer
recommended
inspections.
