8 Maintenance and Inspections

A systematic approach to maintenance and inspections is the basis for a safe operation of the
aircraft. The applied system consists of three elements:
1. Maintenance

2. Daily Inspection

3. Pre-/Post-Flight Inspection
8.1 Maintenance
Airframe, engine and systems maintenance is performed periodically, according to the respective
requirements and rules, described in the maintenance manuals. Please refer to the pertaining
manuals listed in the addendum.
8.2 Daily inspection
The daily inspection must be performed at the beginning of each flight day. The scope of this
inspection is specified in the Flight Manual and in the additional manuals listed in the addendum.
Special attention must be devoted to areas, which are affected by the high vibrations and high
temperatures from the engine.
These include:
- Propeller attachment
- Exhaust system
- Engine attachment
- Wiring, ignition system
- Lubrication, cooling and fuel system
8.3

Pre-flight inspection

This inspection must be performed before each flight. The Flight Manual presents more information
about the pre- flight inspection. If any problems are found they must be corrected before flying.
8.4

Post-flight inspection

Post-flight inspection is performed at the end of each flight day; the post-flight inspection events are
the same as the preflight ones. Failures, damages and malfunctions should be recorded and
repaired immediately, if possible by a qualified staff. It is useful to clean and/or wash the airplane
surface. Check also fuel and oil consumption and levels. Lastly record hours flown and other data
to appropriately document relevant systems running times.
