only be performed by a licensed Airframe and Powerplant (A&P)
mechanic holding an Inspection Authorization (IA). All Cirrus
Authorized Service Centers can perform Annual Inspections. The
inspection is listed, in detail, in Chapter 5 of the Aircraft Maintenance
Manual.
100-Hour Inspection
If the airplane is used commercially, in addition to the Annual
Inspection requirement, the Federal Aviation Regulations requires that
the airplane undergo a 100-Hour Inspection each 100 hours of flight
operation. The scope of the 100-Hour Inspection is identical to the
Annual Inspection except that it can be accomplished by a licensed
A&P mechanic. The 100-hour interval may be exceeded by not more
than 10 flight hours in order to reach a place where the inspection can
be accomplished. Any flight hours used to reach an inspection station
must be deducted from the next 100-Hour Inspection interval. The
inspection is listed, in detail, in Chapter 5 of the Aircraft Maintenance
Manual.
Cirrus Design Progressive Inspection Program
In lieu of the above requirements, an airplane may be inspected using
a Progressive Inspection Program in accordance with the Federal
Aviation Regulation Part 91.409.
The Cirrus Design Progressive Inspection Program provides for the
complete inspection of the airplane utilizing a five-phase cyclic
inspection program.
400 flight hours:
A total of eight inspections are accomplished over the
course of 400 flight hours, with an inspection occurring every 50 flight
hours.
800 flight hours:
A total of sixteen inspections are accomplished over
the course of 800 flight hours, with an inspection occurring every 50
flight hours.
The inspection items to be covered in the Progressive Inspection are
very similar to the Annual Inspection items. The Progressive
Inspection will accomplish a full Inspection of the airplane at 400 (or
800) flight hours or at 12 calendar months.
The inspections are listed, in detail, in Chapter 5 of the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual.
