• Review of the Inspection tasks will
assist you in performing the task of a
maintenance technician and
Inspection Authorization to the
requirements of the Federal Aviation
Regulations
• Recurrent training is the key to your
success and the key to maintaining a
safe aircraft.
• Lets take a look at those tasks that we
are required to do as a maintenance
technician.
INSPECTIONS
Inspections are the most important
task that we
perform. It is also important that we
build a
working relationship with the owner
and operator
aircraft so we can complete the
requirements of
the inspection to determine that all
the airworthiness requirements are
met.
It is just as important that the

Explain to the customer the
requirement of the inspection
and what it is going to take

the entire inspection.

Many times there is a
misunderstanding that the
owner/operator has an option not
to fix discrepancies found during
the inspection. The regulation
does not allow items to be
deferred except in accordance
with inoperative equipment
procedures. Therefore, once you
have determined it to be a
discrepancy, a corrective action
