Inspection for corrosion is a countinuing problem and should be handled on a daily basis. Over emphasizing a particular corrosion problem when it is discovered and then forgetting about corrosion until the next crisis is an unsafe, costly, and trouble some practice. Most scheduled maintenance checlists are complete enough to cover all parts of the aircraft or engine, and no part of the aircraft should go unchecked. Use these checklists as a general guide when an area is to be inspected for corrosion. Through experience it will be learned that most aircraft have trouble areas where corrosion will set in despite routine inspection and maintenance. In addition on routine maintenance inspections, amphibians or seaplanes should be checked daily and critical areas cleaned or treated, as necessary. |
