must also have an annual 100 hour
inspection
each 100 hours of operation as required
by Federal Aviation Regulation

(b) In lieu
of the above requirements,
an airplane
may be inspected
in accordance with
a
progressive inspection
program in accordance with Federal
Aviation Regulation Part
91.409 (d). which allows the
work load to be divided into smaller
operations that can be
accomplished in
a shorter time period.
The CESSNA

PROGRAM
has been
developed to
satisfy the requirements
of Part
91. 409 (d).
