TIME LIMITS/MAINTENANCE CHECKS

1. Time Limits/Maintenance Checks - General
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a safety precaution,
place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or maintenance. Ensure that all three landing
gears are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or maintenance
should be accomplished within and enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of safety, should it become
necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain variations, must be
compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
This chapter contains TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS, a TIME-LIMITED MAJOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, and a CONTINUOUS
INSPECTION PROGRAM along with procedures for UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS. This program has been
developed to enable the owner/operator to accomplish inspections and maintenance on a progressive basis in accordance with 14
CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3).
The Textron Aviation Inc. approved inspection program for aircraft contained in the chapter is specifically for the Model 1900D
Airliner. Any variation to the inspection program must be approved in writing by the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or
Airworthiness Authority. The inspection program meets the requirement of both 14 CFR Part 91 and 14 CFR Part 135.
NOTE: A flight cycle is defined as: Engine start-up and increase to full or partial power (as required during a normal
flight), one landing gear retraction and extension and a complete shutdown.
The inspection program in this chapter is based on numbers of flight hours, cycles of operation or calendar time. The basis for
calendar-time-limited inspections is the date on the "ORIGINAL STANDARD AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE", FAA Form No.
8100-2, which is issued with a new airplane. Additionally, Textron Aviation Inc. recommends that operators record the number of
cycles experienced on individual components for purposes of complying with inspections based on cycle count. Hobbs meter time or
airplane log sheets can be used for determining when inspections and maintenance based on flight hours will be due. However, the
method chosen for recording flight hours should remain constant throughout the life of the airplane.
The times in this inspection program have been established only as a guideline to give the owner/operator a benchmark from which
to begin the program. The service history or fleet experience of a particular operation may indicate that departure from the times in
this chapter would be advantageous. If, however, changes to a previously approved program are desired, they must be submitted to
the FSDO for approval. All inspections listed in this chapter should be accomplished with reference to this Maintenance Manual and
the appropriate supplier maintenance publications. Maintenance information on most of the major components of the airplane is
contained in the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual.
A. Inspection Program
The Model 1900D Airliner inspection program has been developed to enable an owner/operator to accomplish inspections and
maintenance on an on-going basis in accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3). A complete inspection cycle is 1,200 hours
or 24 months. The inspection cycle is divided into six Detailed Inspections and each inspection cycle is done at 200 hours with
each consecutive Detailed Inspection 200 hours after the previous inspection. The Detailed Inspections provide a thorough
inspection of specific components and systems and occur at 200-hour intervals.
For newly added items, as an example; A new inspection requirement added to the second 200-hour-Interval Detailed
Inspection need not be accomplished until the next scheduled second 200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection, unless otherwise
stated .
B. Special Conditions Cautionary Notice
Extremely high utilization airplanes and/or airplanes operated in extreme climates may need more frequent inspections for
wear, corrosion, and lubrication. The periodic inspections in this chapter should be accomplished until the owner/operator can
establish his own inspection periods based on experience or another program which has had prior approval.
NOTE: The time periods listed in this chapter do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the period
without malfunction as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
C. Time-Limited Inspections
This subchapter lists items that are subject to a thorough inspection based on flight hours, cycles of operation or calendar time.
These TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS do not meet the criteria established for more detailed and frequent inspections listed in
the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM subchapter. The first TIME-LIMITED INSPECTION of an item must be
accomplished not later than the period stated in this subchapter unless prior experience indicates otherwise. Discrepancies
noted and corrective action taken during these TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS should be recorded in the appropriate airplane
records.
Requirements added to the TIME- LIMITED INSPECTIONS, TIME-LIMITED MAJOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE or the

CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM, need not be complied with immediately. Unless otherwise directed by relevant
Communique or Service Bulletin.
A new requirement added to the TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS need not be complied with until one year from the date the new
requirement was published, unless otherwise stated.
For example a new inspection requirement added to the second 200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection need not be
accomplished until the next scheduled second 200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection. A new requirement added to the TIME-
LIMITED INSPECTIONS that specifies a 12 month inspection interval may be introduced using a reasonable phase in schedule.
D. Time-Limited Major Maintenance
The subchapter under this heading is a MAJOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. This schedule lists components of the Model
1900D Airliner which require periodic major maintenance. The first Major Maintenance of an item must be accomplished not
later than the period stated in this subchapter unless prior experience indicates otherwise. The components listed may require
complete replacement or major repair based on numbers of flight hours, cycles of operation or calendar time applicable to the
particular component. If more frequent checks or servicing of one or more of these components are necessary, these additional
requirements will be listed in the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM.
E. Continuous Inspection Program
The Textron Aviation Inc. recommended CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM provides a means of inspecting and
maintaining the aircraft on a 50- and 200-hour basis. Routine inspections and servicing are conducted every 50 hours of
operation. A Detailed inspection of specific areas and systems of the aircraft is conducted every 200 hours for a period of
1,200 hours. Work sheets are provided at the end of the Routine and each Detailed Inspection to record discrepancies and
corrective actions taken. At the end of each 1,200-hour cycle the owner/operator will have performed a complete inspection of
the entire airplane. Although the times of Routine and Detailed inspections may be altered, each item should be accomplished
as stated in the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM. A detailed preamble to this subchapter is included and should be
read and understood before beginning the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM.
F. Unscheduled Maintenance Checks - Maintenance Practices
This subchapter is assembled in table form to allow a technician to perform checks for damage after operating the aircraft in
conditions which could require unscheduled maintenance. Specific conditions, such as lightning strikes, turbulent air penetration
and hard landings etc., are included. Inspection instructions are included for each of the conditions listed.
