How long can hot seats go?
Until the expiration of the Daily inspection or until the aircraft is shut down.

Block 10: Debarking PIC signature
Block 11: New PIC signature
Does hot refueling require a new A sheet? What about hot seat?
No, Yes
What are some conditions that require an FCF?
Aircraft acceptance
30 day no fly
Directed by technical manual, or directive
After installation or rigging of engine, prop, major fuel system component, drive train/gearbox, etc
When an aircraft with dual attitude reference sources has had both replaced
Upon completion of Depot Work
Preflight Inspection
Performed to verify the material integrity and correct servicing of the aircraft prior to aircrew acceptance of the aircraft for flight.
Daily Inspection
Valid for a maximum of 72 hours commencing from date and time it was completed, provided no maintenance and no flight occurs.
Once a flight occurs, the aircraft may make multiple flights in a 24 hour period. In no case is a Daily valid for longer than 72 hours unless 72 hour expiration occurs in flight.
Extension of Daily Inspection
Wing may authorize a 24 hour extension (max 96) due to operational necessity. CO must request authorization in writing.
Who does the Daily inspection on a CCX?
When required for CCX, or when aircraft operated away from home base without maintenance, the CO may authorize the PIC to conduct applicable T/M/S NATOPS inspection in lieu of a Daily.
Turnaround Inspection
Performed between flights that occur after completion of the Daily. Valid for a period of 24 hours from date and time inspection was completed or until flown. Once the aircraft is weight off wheels, the turnaround inspection is considered expired.
Does a Daily satisfy Turnaround inspection requirements?
No
When is a Turnaround Inspection not required?
Hot seat
Hot refuel
Pax or cargo stop
Short interruptions for FCF adjustments
Cold refuel with immediate relaunch of same PIC
Postflight Inspection
Performed immediately after aircraft shut down to inspect for visible damage.
Special Inspection
Scheduled on prescribed recurring interval. For example, 28 day, 100 hours, 50 hours, 5000 rounds, etc.
Inspection Deviations
Plus or minus 3 days may be applied to the interval of inspections with the next inspection scheduled as if no deviation had occurred.
Plus or minus 10% may be applied to intervals of inspections based on flight hours or operating hours.
Plus or minus 500 rounds can be applied to CSW.

Three things you are signing for when you sign an A sheet
- Reviewed discrepancy reports for the last 10 flights.
- Proper filing of weight and balance.
- Accept aircraft for flight.

What is an FCF?
Determine whether the airframe, power plant, accessories, and equipment are functioning per specified standards while subjected to the intended op. Environment.
Conditions that drive FCF
-Upon completion of acceptance inspection
-when an ac that has not flown in 30 days returns to a flight status
-When any mandatory FCF condition cited in the applicable natops manual occurs
-when directed by tech manual,tech directive, or MRC
-after Inst. of 7 comp.
7 FCF driving components
- Engine
- Propeller or propeller gov.
- Major fuel system component
- Helicopter drive train, transmission or gear box
- Fixed or movable flight surfaces
- Rotary wings
- Any flight critical component subject to stress during flight that cannot be fully operationally checked by ground ops.

What inspections can’t a CDI conduct which a QAR or CDQAR must do?
In process and final inspections may be conducted by CDIs except:
1. Any task that requires the aircraft to have an FCF.
2. Maintenance performed on egress systems, personnel parachutes, and floatation device when the affected mechanism or function of the equipment is not re-inspected prior to flight.
3. QAR, CDQAR and CDIs will not perform inspections on their own work.
Definition of Servicing?
The replenishment of consumables needed to keep an item in operating condition, but not including any other preventative maintenance.
Flight Critical
Any identified discrepancy that is directly related to safety of flight
