PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
The preflight inspection on life support equipment is basically a
flight preparedness check. As such, a visual inspection will be
performed by the aircrew, prior to each flight, to assure that the
life support equipment is in serviceable condition. On this basis,
a preflight inspection will be required on life support equipment
immediately before issue for flight.
CALENDAR INSPECTION
The inspection consists of checking the life support equipment
for flight preparedness by performing visual inspection and
operational checks of certain components to assure that no
defects or maladjustments exist which could cause accidents or
aborted missions.
