TIME LIMITS/MAINTENANCE CHECKS

1. Scope
A. This chapter provides the time limits and maintenance checks for the Model 550 airplane. It is divided into several
sections, each with a specific purpose toward providing information necessary to establish inspection criteria. Refer to the
Description section for detailed information concerning each of these sections.
NOTE: In accordance with FAR 25.1529, Chapter 4, (Airworthiness Limitations) of this manual is published
as a separate document. Refer to Chapter 4 for those components having a mandatory inspection
and components replacement schedule. This chapter contains all Chapter 4 requirements.
2. Inspection Requirements
A. Federal Aviation Regulations Part 91.409(e) defines the inspection requirements for turbojet multiengine airplanes. The
inspection requirements defined in this chapter are the manufacturer's recommended procedures and are tailored to
satisfy the requirements of Part 91.409(e) and (f)(3).
B. For airplanes registered in countries other than the United States, the procedures specified by the Airworthiness Authority
of that country should be followed.
C. All nondestructive testing procedures required in this chapter are defined in the Model 500 Series Nondestructive Testing
Manual. These procedures must be performed by personnel and at facilities that have been certified by Cessna Aircraft
Company. For details of certification program, refer to the Model 500 Series Nondestructive Testing Manual, Part 1
General.
3. Description
A. Listed below is a detailed description and intended purpose of each section of this chapter.
B. Section 5-00-00, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks - General. This section provides a description and purpose of each
section of this chapter.
C. Section 5-10-01, Inspection Time Limits.
(1) This section lists, in chart format, all inspection and servicing requirements which must be performed. Each page
contains the following six columns:
(a) Revision Status provides the date that a given item was added, deleted or revised. A blank entry in this column
indicates no change since Revision 22, Dated Aug 3/98 of this manual.
(b) New inspection requirements and changes to existing inspection requirements become effective on the revision
date of the change. Unless otherwise noted, compliance of a new or revised inspection requirement must be
accomplished no later than the next scheduled interval of the changed item, following receipt of the revision.
Unless otherwise noted, an inspection in progress at the time of new revision becomes effective may be
completed, utilizing the inspection criteria in effect when the inspection was initiated.
(c) Inspection Item Code Number is a seven-digit, alpha-numeric number permanently assigned to a scheduled
maintenance item. A given inspection item code number will never change and will not be reused in the event
the scheduled maintenance item is deleted. The alpha character at the beginning of the code can be:
• A - Indicates inspection requirement.
• B - Indicates functional or operational test requirement.
• C - Indicates a lubrication requirement.
• D - Indicates a clean/service requirement.
(d) Inspection Requirements provide a short description of the maintenance item and are listed in chapter order.
(e) Inspection Interval is an alpha code character, indicating the frequency of the item. The frequencies
corresponding to each code and corresponding phase are listed in Inspection Time Limits.
(f) Applicable Phase(s) indicates the applicable inspection phase currently containing the inspection item.
(g) Applicable Zone refers to the physical location(s) in the airplane affected by the item. Most functional and
operational tests do not list a zone but instead list a code which indicates special conditions required to perform
the test. The codes and conditions are as follows:
ENG - One or both airplane engines to be running.
AUX - External source of electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic power or a combination of these. Airplane engine
power sources should not be used for these tests.
NOTE: It is possible to perform many of the tests in the AUX category using the airplane's battery

power. However, it is not recommended due to the power drain on the batteries.
BAT - These tests must be performed with the component powered by the airplane's batteries or the batteries
built into the individual component in the case of the standby gyro, ELT or other components with internal battery
power.
LAB - Used when special equipment which requires that the component be removed from the airplane and
taken to a place equipped to perform the check or calibration.
FLT - Test is to be performed during a flight.
(2) Primary purpose of the Inspection Time Limits section is to provide a complete listing of all inspection items in an
order that allows easy access for the information listed previously. This section is not intended to be utilized as a
guideline for inspection of the airplane.
D. Section 5-11-00, Component Time Limits. This section provides a list of overhaul or replacement intervals for components
in chapter order. These requirements are not listed in Inspection Time Limits. The component overhaul or replacement
criteria must be utilized as a guideline for determining proper action regarding the components listed. These requirements
must be worked into the continuous inspection program to provide a complete inspection program.
E. Section 5-12-00, Continuous Inspection Program. This section outlines the continuous inspection program which is
Cessna Aircraft Company's recommended inspection program. The program is divided into five primary phases which
cover all inspection requirements up through the 1200-hour interval inspection items. The remaining phases cover
inspections which are at intervals other than what the five primary phases cover. Refer to Continuous Inspection Program
for a more detailed description of the Continuous Inspection Program.
F. Section 5-50-00, Unscheduled Maintenance Checks. This section includes inspections and checks which may be required
due to special or unusual circumstances and do not have regular repetitive intervals for accomplishment.

INSPECTIONS
1. General
A. General inspection criteria
(1) During accomplishment of each of the specific inspections listed in this chapter, additional general inspections of
surrounding areas should be performed while access is available. These general inspections are intended to detect
obvious conditions which may warrant further action.
(2) When an area is exposed, wire bundles should be inspected for chafing, proper security and support. Verify that wire
bundles are not secured to hydraulic tubes or lines.
(3) Inspection items listed are for specific components and systems, however, entire inspection program requires and
expects a high degree of professionalism and judgment on part of inspection personnel to ensure that all components
and systems are maintained and inspected to verify highest safety standards.
(4) If a component or system is disturbed (due to maintenance being performed) after completion of an initially required
operational or functional test, then that specific test must be re-confirmed after completion of any maintenance prior to
returning system or component to service. Refer to appropriate chapter in this Maintenance Manual for removal,
installation, operational tests and functional tests of components and/or systems.
(5) For items or components requiring lubrication as applicable, refer to Chapter 12, Scheduled Servicing - Description
and Operation, for lubricant, lubricating points and method.
(6) Refer to Chapter 6, Airplane Zoning - Description and Operation, for airplane zone definition.
(7) Conduct a preflight inspection upon completion of the applicable inspection to ensure all required items are properly
serviced. Refer to Approved Airplane Flight Manual.
2. Interval and Phase Cross-Reference for Inspection Time Limits

3. Tasks
A. Inspection items identified as having tasks associated are more complex than can be described in Inspection Time Limits.
Tasks are identified with an ATA Chapter-Section-Subject-Function number, each of which is unique. Chapter-Section-
Subject number identifies specific location of procedure in Maintenance Manual, while last three digits are assigned to
correspond to specific functions.

B. The example above illustrates a sample task number. Beginning with word Task, numbers that follow indicate chapter,
section and subject where inspection task text can be found. The two digit function number indicates general classification
of task and may be found in Table 1. The last digit, just after function number, indicates sequence number. If same chapter-
section-subject and function is used for a different task, sequence number increments by one.
C. CD-ROM users may link from a highlighted task number, to task text. Task numbers may be found in Inspection Time
Limits table or at any point throughout this manual where a task number is referenced.
D. Functions which may be used in this manual are listed in Table 1.
NOTE: The third digit of function is assigned sequentially beginning with zero to ensure a unique nine
digit task number.

COMPONENT TIME LIMITS

1. Component Time Limits
A. All components not listed herein should be inspected as detailed elsewhere in this chapter and repaired, overhauled, or
replaced as required. Items shown here should be overhauled or replaced during the regular maintenance periods falling
due nearest to the specified limit.
B. Items that are underlined are Chapter 4, Airworthiness Limitations requirements. Refer to Chapter 4,
Airworthiness Limitations for additional information.
C. The replacement life for each component listed in this section applies to the part throughout its life on the original
installation and on later installations. The life (number of hours or number of landings) must be recorded individually for
these components and must remain with the component during removal. For example, if a component is removed for
overhaul, it must be tagged with the life (number of hours or number of landings) to the date of removal and this tag must
remain with the component throughout the overhaul process. (Overhaul of a component does not zero-time the life of the
component). When received from overhaul and installed on an airplane, the life of the component must be recorded to
allow continued accumulation toward the life limit.
D. Life-limited components which have exceeded replacement life limits because of a current change in the inspection
program, may continue in service if the component is serviceable and if the replacement part is on order. The replacement
part must be placed on order immediately. Occasional part shortages may result in shipping delays. Replacement part(s)
must be installed within 60 days of receipt.

CONTINUOUS INSPECTION
1. Continuous Airworthiness Inspection Program
A. Purpose and Use.
(1) As detailed in Part 91.409, paragraph (e), of the Federal Aviation Regulations, Turbo Jet Airplanes must be
inspected in accordance with an authorized inspection schedule. This section presents the continuous inspection
program for the Model 550, recommended by Cessna Aircraft Company.
2. Federal Aviation Regulations
A. General Operating and Flight Rules, Part 91.409.
(1) No person may operate a large airplane, or a turbojet multi-engine airplane, or turbo-propeller-powered multi-engine
airplane, or turbine-powered rotorcraft unless the replacement times for life-limited parts specified in the aircraft
specifications, type data sheets or other documents approved by the Administrator are complied with and the
airplane, or turbine-powered rotorcraft including the airframe, engines, propellers, rotors, appliances, survival
equipment and emergency equipment, is inspected in accordance with an inspection program selected under the
provisions of paragraph (f) of this section, except that, the owner or operator of a turbine-powered rotorcraft may elect
to use the provisions of paragraph 91.409(a), (b), (c) or (d) in lieu of an inspection option of paragraph (f).
(2) The registered owner or operator of each airplane or turbine powered rotorcraft described in paragraph (e) of this
section must select, identify in the aircraft maintenance records and use one of the following programs for the
inspection of the aircraft:
(a) A continuous airworthiness inspection program that is a part of a continuous airworthiness maintenance
program currently in use by a person holding an air carrier operating certificate issued under Part 121 or 135 of
this chapter and operating that make and model aircraft under Part 121 of this chapter and maintaining it under
paragraph 135.411(a) (2) of this chapter.
(b) An approved aircraft inspection program approved under paragraph 135.419 of this chapter and currently in use
by a person holding an certificate under Part 135 of this chapter.
(c) A current inspection program recommended by the manufacturer.

powered rotorcraft and approved by the Administrator under paragraph (g) of this section. However, the
administrator may require revision to this inspection program in accordance with the provisions of Part 91.415.
(3) Each operator shall include in the selected program the name and address of the person responsible for scheduling
the inspections required by the program and make a copy of that program available to the person performing
inspections on the aircraft and, upon request, to the Administrator.
(4) Each operator of an airplane or turbine-powered rotorcraft desiring to establish or change an approved inspection
program under paragraph (f) (4) of this section must submit the program for approval to the local FAA Flight
Standards district office having jurisdiction over the area in which the aircraft is based. The program must include the
following information:
(a) Instructions and procedures for the conduct of inspections for the particular make and model airplane, including
necessary tests and checks. The instructions and procedures must set forth in detail the parts and areas of the
airframe, engines, propellers, rotors and appliances, including emergency equipment required to be inspected.
(b) A schedule for performing of the inspections that must be performed under the program expressed in terms of
the time in service, calendar time, number of system operations, or any combination of these.
(c) When an operator changes from one inspection program, under paragraph (f) of this section, to another, the
time in service, calendar times, or cycles of operation accumulated under the previous program must be applied
in determining inspection due times under the new program.
3. Construction
A. Following is the recommended continuous inspection and maintenance schedule for Model 550 airplanes.
B. The program is divided into five primary phases (Phases 1 through 5) which are the main repetitive phases that make up
the basic requirements of the inspection program. The remaining phases include all of the remaining inspection items. The
phases and inspection interval of each are listed below:
NOTE: In addition to the phases listed below, Phase B is also provided and is required to be
accomplished at 150-hour intervals when Phases 1 thru 4 are combined at 300-hour intervals

(Method 3 of accomplishing Phases 1 through 4).

C. The inspection program is divided into phases to better enable the continuous type inspection to be accomplished.
Recommended continuous type inspection may be accomplished by one of three methods.
D. The remaining sections in the 5-12-XX series contain signoff sheets which are listings of inspection items in inspection
item code order. The last two digits (XX) of the chapter/section/subject correspond to the inspection phase.
E. For a complete inspection program when the continuous inspection program is selected, additional inspections shall be
complied with as follows:
(1) Continuous - Phases 1 and on shall be performed.
(2) Component Time Limits - 5-11-00, components that require maintenance at a specified time (does not include on
condition items).
(3) Unscheduled Maintenance - 5-50-00, this includes the following:
(a) Hard overweight landings.
(b) Overspeed-flaps, gear or airplane.
(c) Severe air turbulence or maneuvers.
(d) Lightning strikes.
(e) Foreign object damage.
(f) Improper towing or ground damage.
F. Intervals for some inspections are determined by the manufacturer of the component that is examined. The applicable
manufacturer's manual gives the information necessary to determine those intervals. Refer to the Introduction, Supplier
Publication List.
4. Continuous Inspection Program Procedure
A. The five primary phases (Phase 1 through 5) constitute the core of the continuous inspection program. The remaining
phases, which consist of the higher time inspection requirements, are not included in Phase 1 through 5 continuous
inspection cycle. There are four plans (Plans A, B, C and D) which combine the various methods of accomplishing Phases
1 through 5 into a continuous inspection program. Each plan offers different inspection intervals to meet the varying needs
of the individual operators. Refer to step G for the continuous inspection program chart that defines which phases are due
at a specific hourly interval for each plan.
B. The five primary phases (Phase 1 through 5) constitute the core of the continuous inspection program.
(1) Phases 1 through 4, which each have an interval of 300 hours, are designed to be accomplished in a continuous,
repetitive 300-hour cycle by three different optional methods as provided in Item G.
(2) Phase 5, which has an interval of 1200 hours, is designed to be accomplished in a continuous, repetitive 1200-hour
cycle by four different optional methods as provided in Item H.
C. The remaining phases are to be accomplished when due or at any time earlier to coincide with a convenient inspection or
maintenance down time.
D. The calendar time limits (such as 36 calendar months in Phase 5) must be taken into consideration for airplanes
accumulating less than the specified hours in the calendar period.
NOTE: A calendar month starts on the first day of the month. All inspections for that interval become due
by the last day of that month.
E. Component Time Limits (5-11-00) lists all components which are to be replaced or overhauled on a scheduled basis.
Replacement or overhaul of items listed is required to be accomplished when due or earlier to coincide with a convenient
inspection or maintenance down time.
F. An operator may elect to perform the recommended inspections on a schedule other than that specified. Any inspection
schedule requiring the various inspection items detailed in this chapter to be performed at a frequency equal to that
specified herein or more frequently is acceptable. Any inspection item performed at a time period in excess of that
specified herein must be approved by the appropriate regulating agency.
G. Three optional methods of accomplishing Phases 1 through 4 are provided as follows:
NOTE: Operators changing from one method to another of performing Phases 1 thru 4, must ensure that
time from the previous inspection to the next inspection of an item does not exceed intervals
indicated in this manual.

NOTE: With all of the phases combined into 300-hour intervals, an inspection is required to be
accomplished on certain items every 150 hours. These inspections are listed in Phase B. The 150-
hour inspections are listed in two of the phases. Duplicated items need only be accomplished one
time when combining phases.
H. Four optional plans of accomplishing Phase 5 are provided as follows:
(1) PLAN A: Phase 5 can be accomplished all at once, each 1200 hours concurrently with accomplishment at the end of
the third cycle of Phases 1 through 4.
(2) PLAN B: Phase 5 can be accomplished partially (approximately 1/12th) with each accomplishment of Phases 1
through 4 when they are performed each 75 hours (Method 1 of Phases 1 through 4).
(3) PLAN C: Phase 5 can be accomplished partially (approximately 1/8th) with each accomplishment of combined
Phases 1 through 4 when they are performed each 150 hours (Method 2 of Phases 1 through 4).
(4) PLAN D: Phase 5 can be accomplished partially (approximately 1/4th) with each accomplishment of combined
Phases 1 through 4 when they are performed each 300 hours (Method 3 of Phases 1 through 4).
(5) Plan A may be used for all airplanes regardless of hourly usage.
(6) Plans B, C and D are only recommended for airplanes whose annual flight time exceeds 400 hours per year.

INSPECTION PHASE 3
Date: _______________
Registration Number: _______________
Serial Number: _______________
Total Time: _______________
1. Description
A. Phase 3 consists of selected items to be inspected every 150-hours and 300-hours or 24 calendar months, whichever
occurs first. NOTE: 150 hour items are also listed in Phase B. When performing Phases 1 through 4 as one operation,
duplicated items do not need to be performed twice.
B. Inspection items are listed in order of the zone in which the inspection is to be performed. A descriptive statement of the
inspection requirement and the Item Code Number for cross reference to section 5-10-01 is provided. In many instances,
tasks define more specifically the scope and extent of each required inspection. These tasks are printed in the individual
chapters of this manual.
C. The right portion of each page provides room for the mechanic's and inspector's initials and remarks. These pages may
be reproduced as a checklist for use when performing this inspection phase.
2. General Inspection Criteria
A. During accomplishment of each of the specific inspection tasks within this phase, additional general inspections of the
surrounding areas should be performed while access is available. These general inspections are intended to detect
obvious conditions which may warrant further action.
B. If a component or system is disturbed (due to maintenance being performed) after completion of an initially required task,
then that specific task must be reconfirmed after completion of any maintenance before returning the system or component
to service.

UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS

1. General
A. During Operation, the Airplane may be Subjected to: Hard/overweight landings - detailed in paragraph 3. Overspeed -
Exceeding placard speeds of flaps or landing gear exceeding airplane design speeds - detailed in paragraph 4. Severe
air turbulence of severe maneuvers - detailed in paragraph 5. Lightning strike - detailed in paragraph 6. Foreign object
damage - detailed in paragraph 7. Towing with a large fuel unbalance or high drag/side loads due to ground handling -
detailed in paragraph 8.
B. These conditions are defined in paragraph 2. When any of these conditions are reported by the flight crew, a visual
inspection of the airframe and specific inspection of components and areas involved must be accomplished.
C. The inspections are performed to determine and evaluate the extent of damage in local areas of visible damage, and to
the structure and components adjacent to the area of damage.
D. When a lightning strike is encountered, a comprehensive inspection of the airplane exterior is performed to locate
possible damage.
E. If foreign object damage is encountered (suspected or actual), a visual inspection of the airplane must be accomplished
before airplane is returned to service.
F. Airplanes having wings removed for any purpose which have more than 10,000 flight hours or are more than ten years old,
must remove all wing and wing carry thru lug bushings from the main and rear spar caps of the removed wing and conduct
an inspection for corrosion and/or cracks in the lugs. Contact Cessna Citation Customer Services for tools and inspection
procedures.
2. Unscheduled Maintenance Checks Defined
A. Hard/Overweight Landings.
(1) Any landing made by an airplane at what is believed to be an excessive sink rate. Closely related to hard landing, is
overweight landing, which is defined as landing the airplane at any gross weight which exceeds placard landing
weights.
NOTE: If the hard/overweight landing is combined with high drag/side loads, additional checks are
required.
B. Overspeed.
(1) Any time an airplane has exceeded one or both of the following:
(a) Airplane overspeed exceeding placard speed limits of flaps and/or landing gear.
(b) Airplane overspeed exceeding design speeds.
C. Severe Air Turbulence or Severe Maneuvers.
(1) May be defined as atmospheric conditions producing violent buffeting of airplane. Severe maneuvers can be defined
as any maneuvers exceeding flight manual limits.
D. Lightning Strike.
(1) If flown through an electrically stressed region of the atmosphere, where electrical discharges are transferred from
cloud to cloud and from cloud to earth, the airplane may become a part of this discharge path. During a lightning
strike, the current enters the airplane at one point and exits at another, usually at opposite extremities. It is in these
areas, wing tips, nose and tail sections, where damage is most likely to occur. Burning and/or eroding of small
surface areas of the skin and structure may be detected during inspection. In most cases, the damage is obvious; in
some cases, however, hidden damage may result. The purpose of the lightning strike inspection is to locate any
damage that may have occurred to the airplane before returning it to service.
E. Foreign Object Damage.
(1) Damage to the airplane engine may be caused by the ingestion of slush, by a bird strike or by any other foreign
object, while operating on the ground or in normal flight. Damage may also be caused by tools, bolts, nuts, washers,
rivets, rags or pieces of safety wire left in the engine inlet duct during maintenance operations. Dents, nicks or
scratches within the confines of the engine inlet should be regarded as evidence of foreign object ingestion. The
purpose of the foreign object damage inspection is to locate any damage prior to repairing or returning the airplane
to service.
(2) Safety precautions should be taken to prevent foreign objects from coming in contact with the airplane during towing
and at all times when airplane is not in service. To prevent corrosion in compressor stages and damage to the fan

5-50-00 (Rev 32)

disc and blades, the engine inlet and tailpipe should be provided with suitable covers. When there is wind to rotate
the engines, the covers should be installed as soon as practical following engine shutdown.
(3) The aerodynamic cleanliness level (degree of surface smoothness), especially in the engine inlet cowling area,
contributes greatly to performance capabilities of the airplane. It is most important that the high cleanliness level be
maintained.
(4) Contour and waviness distortion of the aerodynamic surface may be developed in the course of normal operation or
by improper handling during maintenance operations. Highly curved surfaces, such as the engine inlet lip and inlet
ducting, are regions where airplane performance may be considerably affected by such distortions. Doors and
access panels are susceptible to waviness through rough handling. Care should be exercised in the handling of these
items.
F. Towing with a Large Fuel Unbalance or High Drag/Side Loads due to Ground Handling.
(1) A fuel unbalance condition exists when one wing has a greater quantity of fuel than the other. This can be due to fuel
system malfunction, improper fueling practices, etc. It is best not to move an airplane in this condition; but if it is
unavoidable, do so with care and an inspection is required prior to returning airplane to service.
(2) High drag/side load condition shall be defined to exist whenever the airplane skids or overruns from the prepared
surface into an unprepared surface, or lands short of prepared surface, or makes a landing which involves the
blowing of tires or skids on a runway to the extent that the safety of the airplane is in question. This covers takeoffs
and landings or unusual taxi conditions.
