Daily/Turnaround Inspections
The Daily Inspection is conducted to inspect for defects to a
greater depth than the turnaround inspection.
a. Daily Inspections will be conducted per T/M/S aircraft MRCs.
b. Daily Inspections are valid for a maximum of 72 hours commencing from the date and time
the inspection is completed, provided no maintenance other than servicing is performed and no
flight occurs during the 72-hour period. Once a flight occurs, the aircraft may make multiple flights
within a 24-hour period without performing another Daily Inspection, provided no maintenance
other than servicing is performed. The 24-hour period begins with the first launch following
completion of the Daily Inspection. In no case is a Daily Inspection valid for more than 72 hours
unless the end of the 72-hour period occurs while the aircraft is in flight. Figure 5-2 provides
examples of Daily Inspection requirements under various aircraft flight scenarios.
Turnaround Inspections are performed between flights
that occur after completion of the Daily Inspection. A Turnaround Inspection is conducted to detect
material degradation that may have occurred during the previous flight, verify fluid consumption
levels were within limits, and service the aircraft.
a. Turnaround Inspections are valid for a period of 24 hours commencing from the date and
time the inspection is completed, provided no flight and no maintenance other than servicing occurs
during this period.
b. Once the aircraft is weight off wheels, the Turnaround Inspection is considered to be expired.
c. Completing a Daily Inspection does not satisfy Turnaround Inspection requirements.
d. Accomplishment of a complete Turnaround Inspection is not required between repetitive
flight evolutions interspersed with brief ground periods, such as Hot Seating, hot refueling,
passenger or cargo stops, short interruptions for adjustments during helicopter FCFs, or if cold
refueling the aircraft for immediate relaunch when the pilot in command remains the same. When
servicing or other minor maintenance is performed during such ground periods, only those portions
of the Turnaround Inspection applicable to that servicing or maintenance need to be performed, as
directed by Maintenance Control. Periodic inspections or servicing intervals will not be exceeded
during successive ground evolutions. All applicable NATOPS checklist must be complied with
during ground periods.
e. Turnaround Inspections are not required for Hot Seat evolutions. In the event servicing or
minor maintenance is required during Hot Seat, only those portions of the Turnaround Inspection
applicable to the specific servicing or maintenance must be performed, as directed by Maintenance
Control. This does not limit commands from performing other inspections they deem necessary.
Special Inspection and servicing intervals must not be exceeded during successive Hot Seat
evolutions. All applicable NATOPS checklists must be complied with prior to launch.

In-Process Inspections
) In-process inspections are required during the performance of maintenance where
satisfactory accomplishment of the task cannot be determined after the task has been completed.
Requirements for an in-process inspection include, but are not limited to, witnessing application of
torque, functional testing, adjusting, assembly, servicing, and installation. The notation “QA”
appears on each Maintenance Requirement Card (MRC) requiring an in-process QA task.
Mission Essential Subsystems Matrix (MESM)-Maintenance/Aircraft Release
A MESM provides guidance for determining subsystem, capability, function,
and mode interrelationships as they relate to aircraft mission capability. Each T/M/S aircraft and
UAS has a MESM that lists the aircraft’s SCIR-related subsystems and associated Equipment
Operational Capability (EOC) code.
EOC Codes determine whether a/c is PMC or NMC
K-code is degraded night overwater or shipboard OPS
L-Code is degraded IMC capability
S-Code is degraded ASW Capability
Z-Code is downing for aircraft, not safe to fly
