I am currently trying to do the annual (and top overhaul) on my 59 180. I know I have seen some pretty good checklists for doing annuals on 180s but I can't locate one of them. Do one of you motorheads have something you could post or email me??

Thanks!!! Larry

Should be something in the service manual.

The Cessna series 100 service manual should have something. Also maybe the owner's manual. You might check with your IA (assuming you're not one) & see if he has an inspection checklist he likes to use-- these are usually generic but if comprehensive enough are helpful. May be easier for him to do your paperwork if you use the form(s) he's familiar with.
I was just looking through a Wagaero reprint of the Piper J3C-65 owner's manual this morning. It spells out "line inspection" and "20 hour inspection" itmes, but sez "the 100 hour periodic inspection should include all pertinent items of CAA Form 319". That's probably way outdated but I wonder if the FAA has a similar updated form?

Thanks GB!!

Hope this helps, this is one that we delveoped to "help" with 100 hrs and annuals.
