What Is an Aircraft Annual Inspection?

An annual inspection is a FAA-required inspection for all certificated aircraft that must be completed every 12 calendar months. It ensures your aircraft is airworthy, safe, and compliant with federal regulations.

At Cadillac Aircraft Services, we perform thorough, detail-oriented annuals to help you fly safely and avoid costly surprises down the line

What’s Included in an Annual Inspection?

Our inspection process typically includes:

  • Airframe inspection (structure, corrosion, wear)
  • Engine and propeller inspection
  • Avionics and electrical systems check
  • Landing gear and brake systems
  • Control systems and rigging
  • Review of logbooks and maintenance records
  • Compliance with Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

If we find discrepancies, we’ll walk you through everything clearly and provide honest recommendations and repair options.
