B. Introduction.
(1) Following is the
recommended Progressive
Care Program
for Model 182
& T182 airplanes.
(2) This
program is divided into
four separate operations
which are to be accomplished
initially after
50 hours of
operation and
each 50 hours of operation thereafter. Additional
special requirements indicated as Special
Inspection, which are
required at other intervals are
specified separately.
(3)
Recommended progressive
care inspection
may be accomplished
by one of
the following.
NOTE
Some 100
HOUR items are covered
in Operations 1 and
3, also some 200
HOUR items are covered
in
Operations
1, 2, 3, and 4. These
items are placed here
for convenience and
expediency of the
total
inspection. After the
first completion of all
four Operations, these
items will be at the
proper intervals.
(a) NEW
DELIVERED AIRCRAFT
- A new delivered
aircraft must have
less than 50 hours total
time in
service and enough
calendar time remaining since the
issuance date of the original Airworthiness
Certificate to allow
the owner/operator
to complete a cycle
of all four Operations
before the first annual
inspection becomes
due. Operation 1
will be due at 50 hours
time in service. Operation
2 will be due
at
100 hours. Operation 3 will be
due at 150 hours and Operation 4 will be
due at 200 hours. There are
additional
inspection requirements
for new aircraft
at the FIRST 50 HOUR
inspection point.
In addition to
performing
Operation 1, the FIRST
50 HOUR ITEMS listed
in the inspection
Time Limits Charts in
2-59
must also
be performed. After
these FIRST 50 HOUR
items have been
accomplished, they
have
permanent inspection
time limits
which are covered
in the Operations
Schedules.
(b)
ALL OTHER AIRCRAFT
- To quality other aircraft
which have more
than 50 hours time in
service for the
Progressive Inspection
Program, conduct
a COMPLETE AIRPLANE
INSPECTION.
Operation 1 will
become
due 50 hours from
the time the COMPLETE
AIRPLANE
INSPECTION was accomplished.
(4)
Performance of the inspections
as listed herein
at the specified points
will assure compliance
with the
Inspection Time
Limits detailed in
2-59. Special inspections
shall be complied
with at prescribed intervals
and/or intervals
coinciding with operations 1 through
4 as outlined in 2-52.
(5) An operator may
elect to perform the recommended
inspections
on a schedule other than
that specified. Any
inspection schedule
requiring the various
inspection items detailed
in this chapter
be performed at a
frequency equal to that specified herein or
more frequently is acceptable. Any inspection
item performed at a
time period
in excess of that
specified herein must
be approved by the
appropriate regulating
agency.
(6) As
defined in Federal Aviation
Regulations Part
91.409 (d), the frequency
and detail of the Progressive
Inspection Program
shall provide for the
complete inspection
of the airplane within each
12-calendar months.
If the airplane is approaching the
end of a 12-calendar month period, but the
complete cycle of 4 operations
has not been
accomplished, it will
be necessary to complete
the remaining operations,
regardless of airplane
hours before the end
of the 12-calendar
month period. If the Progressive
inspection
Program is to be
discontinued, an annual inspection becomes
due at the time when any item reaches
a maximum of 12-
calendar
months from the last
time it was inspected
under the Progressive
Inspection Program.
Refer to
Federal Aviation Regulation
Part 91.409 (d) for detailed
information.
