Aircraft maintenance checks are periodic inspections that have to be done on all commercial/civil aircraft after a specific amount of usage or time; military aircraft usually follow particular maintenance programmes which may or may not be similar to those of commercial/civil operators.
In order to provide a reasonable confidence that aircraft are operating properly, the FAA needs a series of aircraft reviews; somewhat similar to the many money demands for airman. This report outlines the basic review requirements for aircraft.
Inspection requirements differ with the various uses of aircraft. For example, aircraft being used for compensation or hire must have a thorough inspection every one-hundred hours. Most aircraft, including those used for compensation or hire are required to have an entire review every year (see yearly review). This subject report clarify what it should entail, and when each should be done, which aircraft it applies to, and will discuss each type of review.
100-Hour Inspection
The 100-hour review is required for aircraft:
-That carry any person (other than a crew member) for hire; or
-That are supplied by any person giving flight instruction for hire.
-If a flight instructor provides an aircraft, or any business that furnishes both flight education and an aircraft, that aircraft is subject to the 100-hour inspection.
An aircraft supplied by the (student) aviator, who’s receiving education, isn’t subject to the 100-hour inspection.
The 100-hour limit may be exceeded by 10 hours for the purposes of flying to a location where the inspection can be done.
To minimize maintenance downtime, owners may choose a progressive inspection strategy. Progressive reviews profit owners whose aircraft experience high usage like FBOs, flight schools, and corporate flight departments.Unlike an annual or 100-hour review, a progressive review allows for more frequent but shorter inspection stages, as long as all things required for the annual and 100-hour are inspected within the necessary time.
Equipment that requires regular inspection
Altimeter
An altimeter is an important instrument used to measure the altitude of an airplane above the sea or ground. The FAA regulations lists the items that must be assessed in FAR 43 Appendix E: Altimeter System Test and Inspection. Basically, except for some exceptions, it has to be checked every 24 months.
Transponder
The transponder must be inspected every 24 calendar months. FAR 43 Appendix F, Reviews and ATC Transponder Evaluations, lists the items that must be checked. It must be inspected every 24 calendar months to use a transponder. Moreover, the installation of or adjustment to a transponder must be scrutinized for info errors also.
Fiction Editing.
Whilst every genre takes a particular, focused editorial expertise, a particular note has to be made about fiction editing.
Editing Errors.
Typically, there are extra editorial eyes on a manuscript published by a publishing house, than on a self-published manuscript.
Nikon 5×15 HG Monocular.
The Nikon 5 x 15 high grade monocular has been known to be used by police offers during stake outs of suspects homes.
