Model 206 (Series 1998 And On) Maintenance Manual (Rev 21)

INSPECTION TIME INTERVALS

1. General
A. The primary purpose of this section is to provide inspection time intervals. The section 5-10-01 may be utilized in conjunction
with 14 CFR Part 43 inspection scope and detail, but is not intended to be utilized as the primary checklist for inspection of the
airplane.
NOTE: The inspection guidelines contained in this section are not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such
charts can replace the good judgment of certified airframe and power plant mechanics in performance
of their duties. As the one primarily responsible for the airworthiness of the airplane, the owner or
operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane.
2. Procedure
A. A complete airplane inspection includes all inspection items as required by 14 CFR 43, Appendix D, Scope and Detail of
annual/100-hour inspections. The chart provided in this section should be used to augment the inspection.
B. The Component Time Limits section (5-11-00) should be checked in conjunction with this inspection to ensure proper overhaul
and replacement requirements are accomplished at the specified times.
C. The intervals shown are recommended intervals at which items are to be inspected based on normal usage under average
environmental conditions. Airplanes operated in extremely humid areas (tropics), or in exceptionally cold, damp climates, etc.,
may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion, and lubrication. Under these adverse conditions, perform periodic
inspections in compliance with this chart at more frequent intervals until the operator can set his own inspection periods based
on field experience.
(1) The 14 CFR Part 91 operator's inspection intervals shall not deviate from the inspection time limits shown in this manual
except as provided below: (Refer to 14 CFR 91.409)
(a) The airplane can only exceed its inspection point up to ten hours if the airplane is enroute to a facility to have the
inspection completed.
(b) In the event of late compliance of any operation scheduled, the next operation in sequence retains a due point from
the time the late operation was originally scheduled (reschedule if late).
(c) In the event of early compliance of any operation scheduled, that occurs 10 hours or less ahead of schedule, the next
phase due point may remain where originally set.
(d) In the event of early compliance on any operation scheduled, that occurs more than 10 hours ahead of schedule, the
next phase due point must be rescheduled to establish a new due point from the time of early accomplishment.
3. Inspection Terms and Guidelines
A. For inspection terms and guidelines, refer to Chapter 5, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks - General.
4. Chart Legend
A. Each page of the inspection listed in Inspection Time Limits, section 5-10-01 contains the following five columns:
(1) REVISION STATUS - This column provides the date that a given item was added, deleted or revised. A blank entry in this
column indicates no change since the original issue of this manual.
(2) INSPECTION ITEM CODE NUMBER - This column lists a six-digit number permanently assigned to a scheduled
maintenance item. A given inspection item code number will never change and will not be reused in the event the
scheduled maintenance item is deleted.
(3) TASK - This column gives a short description of the inspection and/or servicing procedures. Where a more detailed
description of the procedure is necessary, a reference will be made to another selection found in the maintenance manual
or a specific reference to a supplier publication. If a task does not refer to a specific model and/or system, then the
inspection and/or servicing procedure applies to all equivalent models and/or systems in the airplane.
(4) INTERVAL - This column lists the frequency of inspection in alphabetic coded form. The legend for the alpha code is listed
below.
(5) OPERATION - The Progressive Care inspection program allows the work load to be divided into smaller operations that
can be accomplished in a shorter time period. This program is detailed in section 5-12-00, which is the Progressive Care
Program.
(6) ZONE - This column locates the components within a specific zone. For a breakdown of how the airplane is zoned, refer to
Chapter 6, Airplane Zoning - Description and Operation.
