What is required for passing a periodic aircraft inspection on the MH-60S?

For an MH-60S to successfully pass a periodic aircraft inspection, it is essential that all maintenance is conducted in compliance with established standards, which include following technical directives, industry regulations, and specific requirements set forth in maintenance manuals. Thorough documentation of these inspections is equally critical; this provides a clear record of the aircraft’s maintenance history, any findings during the inspection, and the measures taken to address those findings. Proper documentation ensures accountability and traceability, which are vital for safety and regulatory compliance.

Other choices would not meet the necessary standards for aircraft inspections. One-time inspections without documentation would fail to provide a record or verify that the required standards were met. Random checks by crew members lack the structured approach needed for thorough inspections which should be conducted systematically. Finally, inspections conducted by non-certified personnel do not comply with regulatory requirements, as certified technicians possess the necessary skills and knowledge to perform these critical evaluations safely and effectively.
