Yes—if performed within the 100-hour timeframe, a properly logged annual inspection can meet both requirements.
How long does a 100-hour or annual inspection take?
Typical turnaround is 3–5 days, depending on the aircraft type and condition. We aim for quick, thorough service to get you flying again safely.
