During operation, the aircraft may be subjected to hard/overweight lend-
Ange, exceeding placarded epeed of flaps and/or landing gear, exceeding
design speeds, excessive maneuvers, excessive turbulent (rougi) air, high
drag/side loads, unusual ground handling conditions, lightning strike,
mercury spillage or engine foreign object ingestion.
When any of these conditions are reported by the flight crew, @ visual
inepection of the airfreme and specific inspection of components and/or
‘areas involved must be acconplished.
The inspections are performed to determine and evaluate the extent of
damage in the local areas of visible damage, and to the structure and
components adjacent to the erea of denage.
The inspections ere divided into two parts; and "A" inspection (generally
external and primary iAdicators) and a "B" inspection follow-up (may be in
closed area). If damage is noted at any step during the "A" inspection,
certain “B" inspection items must be accoxplished. During the "6" inspec-
tion, a progressive check of the structure end systems in the local and
edjacent areas of visible damage is performed. The “B" inspection is
pursued only to the extent necessary to ascertain that no internel denege
has occured in, these areas.
Portions of the eircraft must be inspected when subjected to unusual ground
handling conditions. Unusual ground conditions generally cccur while the
aircreft is being towed. These may result from surface conditions such as
mud, soft sand, small obstacles, unsymetrical fuel loading, or a combina:
tion of these conditions. For acceptable limits for unequal fuel loads
(se2 Chapter 9).
Men Lightning strike is reported, comprehensive inspection of the aircraft
exterior is performed to locate possible demege (see 5-53-0).
If foreign object ingestion (suspected or actual) by the engine is encoun-
tered, a visual inspection must be accomplished (see 5-54-0).
¢
If aircraft has experienced rejected takeoff, landing gear wheels, tires
‘and brakes must be inspected (see 552-0).
