Inspection Prelim

FAR Part 91 requires regular inspections of all civil aircraft to check their overall condition based on how the aircraft is used. Pilots must follow preflight and postflight inspection checklists to visually check the aircraft's general condition and ensure proper fuel and oil levels. Annual inspections are required for most general aviation aircraft within 12 calendar months unless they have an approved alternative inspection plan. Aircraft used commercially require a 100-hour inspection by an A&P technician, which can be exceeded by 10 hours for transport to an inspection facility.
