AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS

1. Scope
A. This chapter gives the mandatory replacement times and inspection intervals for components and
airplane structures. This chapter also gives the required details to monitor them using scheduled
inspections. This chapter applies to items such as fatigue components and structures, which are
a part of the certification procedures.
NOTE: The Airworthiness Limitations section is FAA-Approved and gives specified inspection and
maintenance necessary under Parts 43.16 and 91.409 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, unless an alternative program has been approved by the FAA.
NOTE: For airplanes registered in the Ukraine, the supplemental inspections defined by the Listing
of Supplemental Inspections (5-14-00) are mandatory. Extension of the thresholds and
intervals of these supplemental inspections is prohibited.

2. Definition
A. This chapter has two sections:
(1) The Inspection Time Limits Section (4-10-00) contains systems and components that must be
examined at specified intervals. These intervals show the maximum time permitted between
inspections.
(2) The Replacement Time Limits Section (4-11-00) contains life-limited components that are to
be replaced at a specified time.
