§ 91.411
(3) A current inspection program rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
(4) Any other inspection program es-
tablished by the registered owner or
operator of that airplane or turbine-
powered rotorcraft and approved by the
Administrator under paragraph (g) of
this section. However, the Adminis-
trator may require revision of this in-
spection program in accordance with
the provisions of § 91.415.
Each operator shall include in the se-
lected program the name and address
of the person responsible for scheduling
the inspections required by the pro-
gram and make a copy of that program
available to the person performing in-
spections on the aircraft and, upon re-
quest, to the Administrator.
(g)
Inspection program approved under
paragraph (e) of this section. Each oper-
ator 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 dis-
trict office having jurisdiction over the
area in which the aircraft is based. The
program must be in writing and in-
clude at least the following informa-
tion:
(1) Instructions and procedures for
the conduct of inspections for the par-
ticular make and model airplane or
turbine-powered rotorcraft, including
necessary tests and checks. The in-
structions and procedures must set
forth in detail the parts and areas of
the airframe, engines, propellers, ro-
tors, and appliances, including survival
and emergency equipment required to
be inspected.
(2) A schedule for performing the in-
spections 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.
(h)
Changes from one inspection pro-
gram to another. 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 accumu-
lated under the previous program must
be applied in determining inspection
due times under the new program.
