General
A.
Most components given in Chapter 5 are examined as shown elsewhere in this chapter and
repaired, overhauled, or replaced as necessary. Some components have a time or life limit and must
be overhauled or replaced on or before the specified limit. This is not applicable for Chapter 4 items.
B.
Items that are underlined are Chapter 4, Airworthiness Limitations requirements. Refer to
Chapter 4, Airworthiness Limitations for additional information.

(2) Replacement - Replace the item with a new item or a serviceable item that is in its service life

This section (5-11-00) gives a list of items which must be overhauled or replaced at specific
time limits. The Cessna-Supplied Replacement Time Limits section shows those items which
Cessna has found necessary to overhaul or replace at specific time limits. The Supplier-Supplied
Replacement Time Limits section shows component time limits which have been given by an outside
supplier for their products. In addition to these time limits, the components shown in this section are
also examined at regular time intervals given in the Inspection Time Intervals section. If necessary,
based on service use and inspection results, these components can be overhauled or replaced
before their time limit is reached.
