Aircraft Annual Inspections
Maule
All general aviation aircraft are required to undergo an Annual Inspection every 12 months. Additionally, any commercially operated aircraft that flies more than 100 hours prior to its annual inspection must undergo a ‘100 Hour’ inspection.
The Vital Role of Aircraft Inspections
Inspections aren’t merely required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). They play a vital role in the maintenance and safety of the aircraft. Typically, the majority of aircraft maintenance is performed in conjunction with the annual inspection. This is also when any optional work, such as a kit installation or modifications, is often completed.
At Kenmore Air we have the capability of performing Annual Inspections on everything from a two-seat Piper Super Cub to a Cessna Caravan. However, we specialize in the Annual Inspection of DHC-2 de Havilland Beavers and DHC-3 de Havilland Otters.
Our Maintenance Department is Equipped to Assure Your Aircraft is Airworthy
Properly inspecting an aircraft requires both a certified inspector and the right equipment to test that your plane is safe and airworthy. At Kenmore Air, our team has more than 6 IA (Inspection Authorization) certified inspectors on staff, including the 2015 Aviation Maintenance Technician of the Year, Eric Ellison.
We have the necessary tools and equipment on hand to perform the comprehensive testing required during Annual and 100 Hour Inspections. For example, we use borescopes to conduct compression tests.
Additionally, we have a large library of Service Manuals. We supplement these manuals with the guidelines found in Manufacturer’s Service Bulletins. And, our staff is experienced in handling a variety of aircraft.
Maintenance You Can Trust
Your safety is always our primary concern. After each inspection, you’ll receive a list of ‘Squawks’ (maintenance write-ups). We break Squawks down into three categories:
At Kenmore, we have a ‘don’t wait’ mentality. Which means, we believe in repairing and replacing items before they become an airworthiness concern.

- Airworthiness Items – Repairs and maintenance that must be made for your safety.
- Recommended Items – Repairs and maintenance we would perform if it were out plane.
- Optional Items – Repairs, maintenance, modifications, and kits that you may be interested in doing to improve the performance of your aircraft.
