Question: 1 / 605

If a 100-hour inspection is overdue, what should be done?

Continue flying until the next scheduled maintenance

Schedule an inspection immediately

When a 100-hour inspection is overdue, scheduling an inspection immediately is the correct course of action. This type of inspection is mandated by the FAA to ensure that aircraft maintain airworthiness and operational safety. Overdue inspections can compromise the safety of the aircraft and potentially put pilots and passengers at risk.

Continuing to fly an aircraft without addressing overdue maintenance is not compliant with regulations and poses serious safety risks. Performing a self-inspection, while it may seem like a proactive measure, does not meet the regulatory requirements and is not a substitute for a proper maintenance inspection performed by qualified personnel. Reporting to the FAA wouldn’t be necessary in this context, as the focus should be on rectifying the inspection status rather than notifying authorities about the oversight.
