instances, tasks define more specifically the scope and extent of each required inspection. These tasks are printed in
the individual chapters of this manual.
C. The right portion of each page provides room for the mechanic's and inspector's initials and remarks. These pages
may be reproduced as a checklist for use when performing this inspection phase.
2. General Inspection Criteria
A. During accomplishment of each of the specific inspection tasks within this phase, additional general inspections of the
surrounding areas should be performed while access is available. These general inspections are intended to detect
obvious conditions which may warrant further action.
B. If a component or system is disturbed (due to maintenance being performed) after completion of an initially required
task, then that specific task must be reconfirmed after completion of any maintenance before returning the system or
component to service.
