INTRODUCTION
This handbook contains complete requirements for
periodic maintenance inspections and periodic replacement of accessories and components applicable to the
aircraft to which the handbook pertains. This handbook does not contain instructions for repair, adjustment, or other means of rectifying defective conditions; nor does it c ontain detailed instructions for
trouble -shooting to find causes for malfunctioning.
The inspection requirements in the handbook are stated
in such a manner as to establish what equipment i,s to
be inspected, when it is to be inspected, and what
corditions are to be sought. Applicable portions of the
appropriate maintenance handbooks should be consulted to obtain maintenance instructions that are
beyond the scope of this handbook.
The inspections prescribed by this handbook will
be accomplished at specified periods by Air Force
organizational or Navy Class D maintenance activities,
with assistance prOVided by Air Force field maintenance or Nlvy Class C activities when reqUired. Compliance with the provisions of this handbook is required
in order to ensure that latent defects ax:e ,discovered
and corrected before malfunctioning or serious trouble
r'esults.
This handbook is divided into six sections. The
first four sections contain basic requirements comprising preflight, postflight, intermediate, and major
inspections. Section V contains inspection requirements that supplement the requirements of one of the
four inspections at specific periods or upon occurrence
of specific conditions. Section VI contains requirements for replacing specific accessories or components at prescribed periods. In order to arrange inspection and replacement requirements as nearly.as
possible according to the manner in which work will
be divided and assigned, the requirements in each
section of the handbook are divided into groups under
"system" headings. A system title indicates either
a, functional system or a group of related ~components.
Requirements shown in any of the first four
sections are only basic requirements of the inspection.
It may be necessary to obtain additional requirements

from section V or section VI to complete the inspection;


for example, if tHe fourth major is to'be accomplished,
any requirements that fall due at every second or
fourth major are to be included with the basic requirements of the major inspection. Discrepancies appearing on Aircraft Flight Reports become a part of the
requirements of appropriate postflight, intermediate,
and major, inspections in order t~lat the number of
delayed discrepancies may be held to an absolute
minimum.
No attempt is made to sequence the order of performance of inspection requirements. The inspection
methods employed, th~ availability of specialists at
specific times, and "ti)e facilities utilized are too
variable to establish standardized sequencing. In
toe event sequencing the order of performance of
inspe~'c~tion requirements is desired, it is recom.,mended that it be established when work sheets are
prepared.
The inspection periods designated for accom'plish~
ment of the intermediate and major inspections are
the maximums, and are determined for the primary
use of the aircraft as indicated by its type designationBecause of local conditions (mission, geographical
location, etc), the maintenance officer may shorten
the intervalo The maximum inspection interval will
be dependent on factual operating data, and will be
revised as experience dictates.
The times in man-minutes for accomplishment of
inspection requirements reflect only the times required for inspection plus normal maintenance and
adjustment, and are to be utilized by maintenance officers for planning and scheduling. Those factors
(personnel or equipment shortages, lack of 'parts,
unpredictable inaintenance, unscheduled replacements,
adverse working conditions, and qualifications of
personnel) which will directly affect the length of
time (elapsed) an aircraft is in an "out-of-commission" status for a periodic inspection are not reflected
because they cannot be accurately predicted for any
one periodic inspection.
This handbook pertains to all of a model or certain

series of aircraft and may, therefore, contain ins pec tion requirements applicable to specific equipment
that is not installed on individual airplanes. When
this situation is encountered, those requirements that
are not applicable should be disregarded.
Additional information relative to recording of
inspections and the use of this handbook may be obtained by consulting applicable technical directives.
Revisions to this handbook will be published when

necessary to add, delete, revise, or change frequency


of requirements. Such revisions will be based on
factual data accumulated as a result of maintenance
experience with the aircraft concerned. Data will be
gathered by field studies, from Unsatisfactory Reports
or Reports on Unsatisfactory or Defective Materiel,
and from any other communications pertaining to the
handbook and its requirements. Recommendations
proposing changes to this handbook should be submitted to Headquarters, Air Materiel Command, or
to the Bureau of Aeronautics.

SECTION II
POSTFLIGHT INSPECTICN
2-1. This inspection will be accomplished after the last flight of the day
or more frequently when warranted by local conditions. The postflight
inspection is, basically, a combination of requirements for checking
equipment that requires daily verification of satisfactory functioning,
plus requirements that prescribe searching for defects that become apparent
after the aircraft is flown. It is intended that evidence of chafing, leaks,
and similar conditions be discovered and corrected during the postflight
inspection to 'preclude progression on such a relatively minor problemtoa
state that would require major maintenance to remedy the deficiency. The
postflight inspection is, therefore, an important function that should be
performed with care. Requirements preceded by an asteriskare applicable
when the equipment concerned has been used.
