days; 10, 35, or 75 hours; or 100 arrested landings). When assembling Special Inspection cards,
every effort shall be made to limit to eight hours elapsed maintenance time (EMT) the time
required to perform any special inspection or combination of special inspections which, because of
their intervals, become due simultaneously. The following detailed requirements apply:
a. Aviator's equipment/safety and survival systems. Certain aviator's equipment/safety and
survival systems that require Aviation Life Support System (ALSS) PMRMs shall have
only installation and removal requirements included in the Special Inspection cards.
b. Corrosion inspection requirements. The corrosion inspection program for items that are
predominantly calendar sensitive shall consist of special inspections based on a cumulative
number of days. These requirements are to inspect corrosion-prone areas for degradation
that may have occurred during the preceding inspection interval. Corrosion-prone area
illustrations shall be provided where necessary for clarity.
c. Engine removal/installation requirements. Engine removal/installation requirements (when
required) shall be contained in the Special Inspection cards by reference to the applicable
maintenance manual, for example: "Remove engine in accordance with NAVAIR 01-
XXX-X." These cards shall list the total time required, consumable maintenance
materials, and replacement parts needed to accomplish the removal or installation of the
engine.
d. Engine bay area requirements. Inspections of equipment, components, and/or structures
within the engine bay area that are practical only with the engine removed shall be
programmed as specials at the same interval as the scheduled engine removal. The
applicable cards shall contain the following: "NOTE: To be performed when the QECA is
removed for scheduled inspection."
e. Installed engine requirements. All engine, propeller and Quick Engine Change (QEC)
maintenance requirements which are performed on the installed engine/QEC that do not
have intervals compatible with those established in the phases shall be included as specials.
f. Aircraft service period adjustment (ASPA) requirements. When applicable, special
inspection requirements shall be provided for preparation of the aircraft for ASPA
evaluations and for restoration of the aircraft to a flight-ready condition upon completion
of the inspection.
3.2.1.3.3 Preservation/depreservation requirements (aircraft). Preservation requirements
shall be provided for the short term (six months maximum) preservation of aircraft. Preservation
requirements for each aircraft system shall be addressed individually and shall include initial
preservation procedures, scheduled maintenance to be accomplished while each system is
preserved, and depreservation procedures. See 3.3.26c.
