100 Hour Inspection Checklist
The 100 Hour Inspection Checklist is a comprehensive evaluation of the overall condition of an aircraft. It is typically conducted every 100 hours of operation and includes a thorough visual inspection of the exterior and interior of the aircraft, as well as all components, systems, and accessories. It also involves a complete inspection of the engine, fuel system, propeller, electrical system, and instrumentation. Additionally, all required maintenance items, such as lubrication, are also included in the 100 Hour Inspection Checklist.
