Comprehensive 100-Hour Aircraft Inspections

At Premier Aviation Tucson, your safety and the reliable performance of your aircraft are our top priorities. We understand the critical role your aircraft plays, whether for business, pleasure, or flight training. That's why we offer comprehensive 100-hour inspections designed to keep you operating safely and efficiently, providing you with peace of mind every time you take to the skies.

For many aircraft owners and operators, particularly those using their aircraft for hire or flight instruction, the 100-hour inspection is a crucial and mandatory maintenance event. But beyond being a regulatory requirement, it's a vital practice that contributes significantly to the longevity, safety, and overall value of your aircraft.

What is a 100-Hour Inspection?

A 100-hour inspection is a thorough examination of an aircraft that is required every 100 hours of flight time if the aircraft is used to carry persons for hire or for flight instruction for hire. This regulation, outlined in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 91, Subpart E, ensures that aircraft operating under these conditions receive regular checks to identify and address any potential issues before they escalate into significant problems.

Why are 100-Hour Inspections So Important?

• Enhanced Safety: The primary benefit of a 100-hour inspection is the early detection of wear, damage, or malfunctions. Our meticulous inspections can identify issues with critical components like the engine, propeller, flight controls, landing gear, and airframe before they compromise safety.
• Regulatory Compliance: For aircraft used for hire or flight instruction, adhering to the 100-hour inspection requirement is not just good practice – it's the law. Failing to comply can result in significant penalties and grounding of your aircraft.
• Preventative Maintenance: Regular inspections allow for proactive maintenance. By addressing minor issues early on, you can prevent more costly and time-consuming repairs down the line. This helps to minimize downtime and keep your aircraft operational when you need it most.
• Maintaining Aircraft Value: A well-maintained aircraft with a consistent inspection history holds its value better. Detailed records of 100-hour inspections demonstrate a commitment to proper care and can be a significant selling point in the future.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing that your aircraft has undergone a thorough inspection by qualified professionals provides invaluable peace of mind for you, your passengers, and your students.
