A copy of these pages can be used as a checklist when these inspections are completed.

General Inspection Criteria

During each of the specified inspection tasks in this section, more general inspections of the
adjacent areas must be done while access is available. These general inspections are used to find
apparent conditions which can need more maintenance.

B.

If a component or system is changed after a required task has been completed, then that specified
task must be done again to make sure it is correct before the system or component is returned
to service.

C.

Do a preflight inspection after these inspections are completed to make sure all the required items
are correctly serviced. Refer to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight
Manual.
