how are small aircrafts maintained like a cessna 152?

Question

do they also undergo A,B,C,D checks like a wide body do?is there a site on the net that will be very specific bout a cessna 152.

Answer 1

If the aircraft is just used by the owner and is not for rent they only required inspections is the Annual Inspection. They will also periodically have oil changes. At the annual inspection they will also go over all of the ADs and Service Bulletins to make sure the aircraft is in compliance.

If the aircraft is rented, say at a flight school they will also have the annual inspection like above, but beyond that they are required to have 100 hour inspections as well as 50 hour inspections (which consists of oil change).

Above the maintenance checks they also need avionics checks to keep them in compliance, which is the FAR 91.411 and 91.413

Hope this explains it a little and feel free to ask more questions!!

Answer 2

FAR 91.409 explains it all. Most small, single engine aircraft are maintained via an annual inspection. Or you can choose a progressive inspection by submitting it your local FAA office for approval. An annual inspection is covered in FAR 43, Appendix D. In between inspections, all discrepancies must be either fixed or deferred by a proper Part 91 MEL (minimum equipment list). A,B, or C checks arent even developed for the C-150

Answer 3

all private aircraft have to get an annual inspection if it is used for rental purposes it would require 100 hour inspections. As in an AC

Answer 4

In order to remain airworthy, all FAA certified aircraft are strictly maintained according to regulations, from the smallest to the largest. Large aircraft cannot be left out of service to perform all the maintenance at the same time, so different things are checked at different times.(A, B, C, etc.) There are fewer things to check on small aircraft so it doesn't take as long, nor is it as complicated. As far as any websites, you have the same power as I to search.

Answer 5

Well, there are annual inspections for starters. If the plane is for rent, there are also 100-hour inspections. The FARs require other inspections, too.
