How to use the Inspection Checklists

The sample checklists that I have posted are the exact same ones I will be using to inspect yor aircraft.  So it would be a good idea to find any information that may be listed on the forms.  For instance on the airplane form there is a place for control surface travel both the recommended and actual.  It would really save both of us a lot of time if that was researched before I was at the point of asking you what those values are.  Also as I am inspecting you are able to rectify any descrepancies I find while I am there.  So if I see a bolt that is too short and doesn't have enough threads I would expect you to replace it with one of proper length at the time.  Same with any placards or instrument and switch labels.  Hopefully you will have a labeler with you to properly complete the labeling. 

To use the checklists:

1. Print a copy of the applicable checklist. 

2. Go through  EACH  item and if it applies to your aircraft make sure it is a yes.  If it doesn't apply it is an N/A.  Obviously you don't want any NOs.

3.  If you can get through the whole check with yes and n/a then you are ready.
