CESSNA SECTION 8
MODEL 208B 867 SHP AIRPLANE HANDLING, SERVICE
GARMIN G1000 AND MAINTENANCE
U.S.
AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS
FAA REQUIRED INSPECTIONS
As required by U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations, all civil aircraft of
U.S. registry must undergo a complete inspection (annual) each twelve
calendar 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
Airworthiness Directives (ADs) applicable to the airplane, engine,
propeller and components. 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 noncompliance.
If an airplane is being operated under a CFR Part 135 Certificate, the
operator can choose to use an Approved Aircraft Inspection Program.
INSPECTION PROGRAMS
Refer to the 208 Maintenance Manual, Chapter 4-00-00, Airworthiness
Limitations, for FAA approved mandatory replacement times and
inspection intervals for components and structures that are life-limited.
The section also gives the scheduled inspection requirements for
structural and fatigue components that are considered a part of the
certification process. Refer to Chapter 5-00-00 for approved time limits
and maintenance checks for the Model 208B airplanes.
Regardless of the inspection method selected, the owner should keep
in mind that 14 CFR 43 and 14 CFR 91 establishes the requirement
that properly certified agencies or personnel accomplish all required
FAA inspections and most of the manufacturer recommended
inspections.
Airplanes operating in other than U.S. registry should refer
to the regulations of the country of certification for
information on approved maintenance inspection programs.
