Report
Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document
What is an Aircraft Inspection Report?
An aircraft inspection report is a formal document that records the results of an aircraft inspection, including aircraft details, inspection findings (defects and observations), overall condition assessment, and recommendations. It is used for regulatory compliance and maintenance planning.
Why Use This Template?
This online template provides a structured format for capturing all inspection data, with repeatable findings sections, photo attachments, and signatures from the inspector and certifying engineer.
Key Features
The template includes sections for inspection information, aircraft details (model, serial number, flight hours, cycles), inspection findings (repeatable with component, finding type, description, severity, photo), conclusion (overall condition, recommendations), and signatures.
Scheduled Maintenance
Airlines and maintenance organizations use this report for scheduled inspections such as A-checks, C-checks, and heavy maintenance visits.
Regulatory Compliance
Aviation authorities require inspection reports to demonstrate compliance with airworthiness directives and maintenance programs.
Aircraft Condition Assessment
When evaluating an aircraft for purchase, lease, or return, a detailed inspection report provides a comprehensive view of its condition.
Defect Tracking
Findings from the inspection are recorded and can be tracked for rectification. The report serves as a baseline for future inspections.
Maintenance Planning
The report helps plan future maintenance activities by identifying trends and recurring issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables
What is the difference between an inspection report and a defect report?
An inspection report covers all findings from an inspection, including both defects and observations. A defect report focuses specifically on defects and their rectification. This template is an inspection report.
Who is a certifying engineer?
A certifying engineer is a qualified person who reviews and certifies the inspection report, confirming that the aircraft is airworthy or that maintenance is required.
Can I add photos to the inspection report?
Yes, the template includes photo fields for each finding. You can attach photos of defects or observations.
What inspection types are supported?
The template includes options for pre-flight, A-check, C-check, and other. You can select the appropriate type or add custom types.
How do I record an observation that is not a defect?
Use the finding type 'observation' and describe the observation in the description field. Observations do not require severity.
