The PMS-2 inspection is a thorough and searching examination of
the aircraft and associated equipment.
During the PMS-2 inspection
access plates, panels, and screens are removed and some partial
disassembly of the aircraft will be required.
Requirements under the
Phase Method often vary between the phase elements.
PMS-2 inspections
are due after a designated number of flying hours since new or the
completion of the last periodic inspection.
The PMS-2 inspections
must be accomplished when due and may be overflown only under the

Checklist, along with any special inspection requirements listed on DA

inspection,
the next sequence numbered standard phase, or periodic inspection must
be performed, at the interval stipulated in the

For example, if phase number
2 was the last phase completed, then the CPM was performed, the next
phase due will still be number 3.
