In the wake of its announcement of an AD on its Cessna 210, 210T and 210P models, Cessna has announced that it is expanding its mandatory inspections to its 100-series airplanes (from the Cessna 120 to the Cessna 195) that were manufactured between 1946 and 1986 (the latter date being when Cessna suspended its single-engine piston production). The program of mandatory inspections, which debuted last year, is designed, the company said, “to identify any serious corrosion or fatigue damage present, and if there is, get the airplane out of service and repaired.”
The program will mandate inspections on airplanes based on their age and/or total time.
