  Q:

Do I have to have a PhaseCard Program for every airplane on the program even if they are all the same model?

  A:

Yes. Each PhaseCard Program is serialized to each airplane. The Inspection Report card where mechanics sign off the phases is serialized and the mechanic references the Inspection Report card in his logbook entry to show that the airplane is in compliance with FAA annual inspection requirements. The Inspection Report card is copyrighted and must not be photocopied. The only way a customer can obtain new Inspection Report cards is if they maintain a current subscription for that specific serial number airplane.

     
  Q:

Is there a PhaseCard Program for the 182T?

  A:

No. Due to current demand Cessna has not created a 182T specific PhaseCard program. However, the customer can coordinate with his or her local FSDO and use a 182S PhaseCard program to meet his or her needs if the FSDO approves.

   
  Q: Do I have the latest revision of PhaseCard Program for my airplane?
  A: All the PhaseCard programs are provided by subscription only, revised periodically; your revision level can be determined on the Log of Effective Pages. For current revision level please consult the Revision Status Checklist on the Cessna website or call 316.517.5800.
   
  Q: What type of paint is used on my aircraft?

  Q: How can I get a copy of a service bulletin or Service Newsletter etc?
  A: Individual copies of service bulletins are available for $9.00; however, local Cessna Service Stations have these service bulletins available also. Individual Service Bulletin subscriptions are typically available for $88.00 annually and include Cessna Service Bulletins as they are issued for a specific model.
   
  Q: Can I change my Owner Advisory address with Cessna?
  A: Cessna Owner Advisories are sent to the FAA registered owner of record; those addresses can only be changed by the owner contacting the FAA at 405-954-3116. Cessna does offer a separate Duplicate Owner Advisory Service that may be subscribed to by calling Cessna Customer Services at 316.517.5800.
   
  Q: Can I get an extension for compliance with my aircraft's SID inspections?
  A: Service News Letter SNL02-7R1 provides a grace period time for the incorporation of SIDs into the aircraft maintenance program. Any extensions beyond those provided for in SNL02-7R1 would have to be approved by the FAA or the International equivalent.
   
  Q: How do I obtain Cessna Service Bulletins?
  A: Propeller Aircraft Customer Service offers several options for owners, operators, or maintenance facilities to obtain Service Bulletins and Service News Letters. Service Bulletin Subscriptions for particular models allows the subscriber to receive Service Bulletins and Newsletters as they are produced during the annual subscription. A separate Service Bulletin Listing subscription gives a checklist of Service Bulletins and Service newsletters for any serial number aircraft since it left the factory. We also offer several maintenance subscriptions in Aerofiche and CD-ROM. Contact Propeller Aircraft Customer Service at 316.517.5800 for more information.
   
  Q: How long will it take for the Tech Rep to call me back?
  A: To ensure the most prompt response, Cessna has established a large network of Cessna Approved Service Stations around the world in your locale and time zone. If you should have a problem or question concerning your aircraft, the most expeditious response is typically obtained from your local Service Station; they can be located using the Service Station Locator on our web site. Occasionally a problem may arise that is more complex or may require factory assistance. If after talking with your Service Station Service Manager, you feel a question remains or a problem is not resolved to your satisfaction:

B. If necessary, your Field Service Engineer will contact the Cessna Customer Services Center for assistance in resolving the problem.
