As far as I know about the progressive inspection at my academy, they use 50 hour interval and
each phase consisted of a detailed inspection of part of the aircraft and a less intensive check of some other systems. When I look at the clipboard for particular tail number, I see inspection due date for 50 hour, 100 hour, and annual.
I understand for a high use airplane it make sense to do the inspection every often and spread out everything so each airplane inspection takes less time, thereby eliminating time consuming at 100 hour inspection.
Now my question is, if we do two phases of 50 hour inspection, why do we still have to go through the 100 hour inspection? Is this because they look at different part of the AC during each phase of the 50hour inspection and remaining parts during 100 hour?
Can somebody provide with example please?
Thanks.
John.
