Annual Aircraft Inspections at KTTA

Every applicable Appendix D inspection item included

Our annual inspection includes every item in 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix D that applies to your aircraft, covering the required scope across the airframe, cabin and cockpit, engine, landing gear, wings, tail, propeller and other applicable components and systems.

Inspection and repair are separate scopes of work. A discrepancy found during the inspection does not mean its repair or replacement is included. Corrective work needs to be discussed with the shop.

Common questions

When is an annual inspection required?

For aircraft subject to 14 CFR 91.409(a), the required inspection and approval for return to service must fall within the preceding 12 calendar months. Aircraft certification, operation and approved inspection programs can change which requirements apply.

Does a 100-hour inspection replace an annual?

A 100-hour inspection alone does not replace an annual. An annual inspection can satisfy the 100-hour inspection requirement.

Does an annual cover every future maintenance issue?

No. It provides a structured inspection of applicable aircraft components and systems. It does not guarantee against future problems or replace preflight checks and ongoing maintenance.
