Maintenance

100-hour inspection

An inspection required every 100 flight hours when an aircraft is operated for hire - including flight instruction in a club or school airplane.

In practice

Privately operated aircraft need only the annual; add paid instruction or rental and the 100-hour clock starts. The inspection scope is nearly identical to an annual (an annual can reset the 100-hour clock, not vice versa). For clubs and schools the operational question is tracking: hours accumulate at different rates across a fleet, and the schedule needs to see each airplane's remaining margin before it books another lesson.

Add your aircraft and your rates, then see the schedule, the squawks, and the ledger all work off one record. No card required.
