All detailed maintenance records in respect of the aircraft and any life-limited component, at least 24 months after the aircraft or component was permanently withdrawn from service. 2. The total time and flight cycles as appropriate, of the aircraft and all life-limited components, at least 12 months after the aircraft or component has been permanently withdrawn from service. 3. The time and flight cycles as appropriate, since last scheduled maintenance of the component subjected to a service life limit, at least until the component scheduled maintenance has been superseded by another scheduled maintenance of equivalent work scope and detail.                                                                      4. The current status of compliance with maintenance programme such that compliance with the approved aircraft maintena

FUEL SAMPLING PROCEDURE ON CESSNA

FAA advised revised fuel sampling procedure before preflight. Procedure  With the airplane in the normal ground attitude and starting at the highest drain location, check all drain locations for contaminants before every flight, whether or not refueling has occurred. Have fuel sample disposal provisions, proper lighting, and a small ladder at your disposal to properly check for fuel tank system contamination. • Drain at least one cup of fuel (using a clear sampler cup) from each drain location. • Drain the fuel strainer as required to completely flush its contents in each of the fuel selector positions. • Check for water, clarity, cloudiness, haze, proper fuel type/grade (i.e.; 100LL is light blue in tint, jet fuel is clear or yellowish), odor, or other contaminants. • If any contamination is detected in the fuel tank system, thoroughly drain all drain locations again. • If contamination is observed, take further samples until the fuel appears clear, and
