Tailoring the checklist form to an individual airplane or model helps the owner keep good records of the special inspection items or other actions that pertain to their airplane. Coupled with the findings of the records research, this becomes an important part of an airplane’s maintenance history. It is wise to keep these completed checklists with the airplane maintenance logs and other records. Documents listed in the references section of this guide are excellent resources that will provide more ideas for a comprehensive checklist. Advisory Circular AC 20-106, Aircraft Inspection for the General Aviation Aircraft Owner, contains an enormous amount of detailed information that directly applies to special inspections. AC 20-64, Maintenance Inspection Notes for Lockheed L-188 is basically an inspection checklist for that model. Although it's for a large airplane, its content and document layout serve as a good example. Appendix 2 is an example of the checklist applied to a small airplane. It is tailored to the wing structure and its unique design features for certain American Champion airplanes. Appendix 2 also includes information found through records research, such as industry and FAA points of contact and a listing of references materials.
