INTRODUCTION
1. General
A. The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) in this publication uses the data available at the time of publication. This
publication is updated, supplemented, and changed by service letters, service bulletins, publication revisions, reissues,
ICA supplements, and temporary revisions, which are supplied by subscription services available from Cessna Customer
Service. All of these changes become part of and are specifically included in this publication which is the principal manual
for ICA. The latest changes to this publication are given through the Cessna Customer Service subscription services
and/or Citation Service Centers and Citation Service Stations.
B. The ICAs in this manual have been written for Cessna approved parts. If non-Cessna approved parts are installed, refer to
the manufacturers and/or seller's publications for inspection intervals, replacement time limits, methods of inspections, life
limits, etc.
C. Inspection, maintenance and parts requirements for Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) installations are not given in this
manual. When the airplane has an STC installation, those parts of the airplane that the installation has an effect on, must
be examined in accordance with the inspection program published by the owner of the STC. Cessna-supplied inspection
criteria may not be valid for airplanes that have STC installations because these installations may change the systems
interface, operating characteristics, and component loads or stresses on adjacent structures.

5. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)
A. Maintenance Manual
(1) The instructions provided in this manual are the principal instructions for continued airworthiness. This manual may be
revised to add changes to the ICAs or to add additional ICAs when changes to the airplane type design require
changes to these instructions. When a revision to this manual is not possible within the time constraints for these
ICAs, the instructions may be transmitted with a temporary revision or with an ICA supplement. Temporary revisions
will be incorporated in the next revision to this manual and ICA supplements will also be incorporated in the next
revision unless these instructions require restricted distribution.
B. Temporary Revisions
(1) Temporary revisions may be produced to transmit supplemental instructions for continued airworthiness when a
revision to the maintenance manual is not possible within the time constraints for these ICAs. They consist of
complete page blocks which replace the existing paper and will temporally supersede the electronic data. Temporary
revisions will be included on the next electronic release cycle. Temporary revisions are numbered consecutively in the
ATA chapter assignment. Page numbering uses the three-element number, which matches the maintenance manual.
(2) Paper Version of the Maintenance Manual
(a) Paper temporary revisions will be distributed on yellow paper. File the temporary revision cover sheet after the
title page of the chapter to which it applies and substitute or add the remaining pages in the paper manual.
(3) Electronic Version of the Maintenance Manual

which it applies and the changed or added page blocks will be located in the appropriate location by ATA. All
revised or added information will have a teal background.
C. ICA Supplements

to the maintenance manual is not possible within the time constraints for these ICAs. ICA supplements will provide
supplemental instructions for one or more ICA manual and is to be used in conjunction with the affected manuals
(maintenance manual, wiring diagram manual, etc.) until those instructions are incorporated into the manuals. ICA
supplements are numbered consecutively by model in the ATA chapter assignment. Page numbering uses the three-
element number, which matches the affected manuals.

7. Using the Component Maintenance Manual
A. Division of Subject Matter.

system or airplane.
B. List of Effective Pages (Paper Version of this Manual Only).
(1) A list of effective pages is provided with each chapter. All pages listed are active and shall appear in sequence as
recorded in the List of Effective Pages.
(2) The List of Effective Pages contains tabular listing of Air Transport Association number, page and date of each page
in that chapter. A change in the chapter requires a revision to the chapter’s List of Effective Pages. The date
corresponds to the date that appears on the individual page which defines when that page was issued.

printed. The three-element number is assigned to a component, with the first set of numbers corresponding to Air
Transport Association Specification 2200 assigned chapter number.
(2) The page number beside the three-element number complies with Air Transport Association Specification 2200 for
subdividing a Component Maintenance Manual. Blocks of sequential page numbers are used to identify:

Pages 301 through 399 - Disassembly
Pages 401 through 499 - Cleaning
Pages 501 through 599 - Check
Pages 601 through 699 - Repair
Pages 701 through 799 - Assembly (Including Storage)

be the second figure in a repair section.
8. Revision Filing Instructions (Paper Version of this Manual Only)
