INTRODUCTION
1. General
A. The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) in this publication uses the data available at the time of publication. This
publication is updated, supplemented, and changed by service letters, service bulletins, publication revisions, reissues,
ICA supplements, and temporary revisions, which are supplied by subscription services available from Cessna Customer
Service. All of these changes become part of and are specifically incorporated within this publication. The latest changes
to this publication are given through the Cessna Customer Service subscription services and/or Citation Service Centers
and Citation Service Stations.
B. The ICAs in this manual have been written for Cessna approved parts. If non-Cessna approved parts are installed, refer to
the manufacturers and/or seller's publications for inspection intervals, replacement time limits, methods of inspections, life
limits, etc.
C. Nondestructive testing requirements for Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) installations are not given in this manual.
When the airplane has an STC installation, those parts of the airplane that the installation has an effect on, must be
examined in accordance with the inspection program published by the owner of the STC. Cessna-supplied inspection
criteria may not be valid for airplanes that have STC installations because these installations may change the systems
interface, operating characteristics, and component loads or stresses on adjacent structures.

A. Nondestructive testing consists of methods for investigating the quality, integrity, properties and dimensions of materials
and components, without damaging or impairing their serviceability. Inspection methods include visual, radiographic,
ultrasonic, eddy current, penetrant, magnetic particle, etc.
B. To ensure adequate application of techniques and accurate reporting of results, it is essential that inspection personnel be
skilled and well trained in the field of nondestructive testing. To this end, Cessna has established a Program for
Certification of Nondestructive Testing Facilities/Personnel. Refer to Part 1, 20-00-00.
5. Airplane Identification
A. All airplanes are assigned a serial number. Serial numbers are assigned consecutively to each airplane as construction
begins and remain with airplane throughout its service life. Airplane serial number is located on left side of tailcone.
B. Inspections presented in this manual are applied to those airplanes identified by serial number for a given inspection.
(Refer to Inspections.)
6. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)
A. Nondestructive Testing Manual
(1) The instructions provided in this manual are the instructions for continued airworthiness. This manual may be revised
to add changes to the ICAs or to add ICAs when changes to the airplane type design affect these instructions. When
a revision to this manual is not possible within the time constraints for these ICAs, the instructions may be transmitted
with a temporary revision or with an ICA supplement. Temporary revisions will be incorporated in the next revision to
this manual and ICA supplements will also be incorporated in the next revision unless these instructions require
restricted distribution.
B. Temporary Revisions
(1) Temporary revisions may be produced to transmit supplemental instructions for continued airworthiness when a
revision to the nondestructive testing manual is not possible within the time constraints for these ICAs. They consist of
complete page blocks which replace the existing paper and will temporally supersede the electronic data. Temporary
revisions will be included on the next electronic release cycle. Temporary revisions are numbered consecutively in the
ATA chapter assignment. Page numbering uses the three-element number, which matches the nondestructive testing
manual.
(2) Paper Version of the Nondestructive Testing Manual
(a) Paper temporary revisions will be distributed on yellow paper. File the temporary revision cover sheet after the
title page of the chapter to which it applies and substitute or add the remaining pages in the paper manual.
(3) Electronic Version of the Nondestructive Testing Manual
(a) The cover sheet will be located in the nondestructive testing manual electronic library at the beginning of the
chapter to which it applies and the changed or added page blocks will be located in the appropriate location by
ATA. All revised or added information will have a teal background.
C. ICA Supplements
(1) ICA supplements may be produced to transmit supplemental instructions for continued airworthiness when a revision
to the nondestructive testing manual is not possible within the time constraints for these ICAs. ICA supplements will
provide supplemental instructions for one or more ICA manual and is to be used in conjunction with the affected
manuals (maintenance manual, wiring diagram manual, etc.) until those instructions are incorporated into the
manuals. ICA supplements are numbered consecutively by model in the ATA chapter assignment. Page numbering
uses the three-element number, which matches the affected manuals.

separated by dashes, page number, and printed date.
(a) A three-element number is assigned for each procedure, with the first set of numbers corresponding to assigned
chapter number (according to the Air Transport Association Specification 100's assignment of subject matter),
second set of numbers corresponding to assigned section, and third set of numbers representing a subject.
(b) Part number appears immediately left of the three-element number. The part number is significant as identical
three-element numbers may appear in more than one part.
