Aging Airplane Inspection & Maintenance Baseline Checklist
for Airplanes Without a Type Specific Checklist
(this list is not all inclusive or mandatory, to be used as a guide only)
GENERAL
Weigh aircraft for actual weight and balance report
Special attention for corrosion of magnesium parts (i.e., control surfaces, castings, etc.)
AVIONICS
Antenna (requires removal) - corrosion - electrical characteristics
Coax cable condition in inaccessible areas
Connectors
Static dischargers - resistance check
Bonding - resistance check
ELT - bench check for power output and proper frequency
COMPONENT SERVICE LETTERS AND/OR ADVISORY MATERIAL DATE LAST INSPECTED/ REPLACED FINDINGS/NOTES
CONTROLS
Control surface - balance and rigging
Inaccessible areas of control surfaces - corrosion - cracking
Attach points - corrosion - cracking
Inaccessible control cable runs - condition - corrosion of terminal ends
Control surface balance weights - corrosion - security of fasteners - condition of attach points
ELECTRICAL
Wires (especially inaccessible wiring bundles and wiring behind the control panel)
Circuit breakers (check for proper operation at rating)
Capacity check of aircraft battery

SERVICE LETTERS DATE LAST
COMPONENT AND/OR ADVISORY INSPECTED/ FINDINGS/NOTES
MATERIAL REPLACED
EMPENNAGE
Condition of stabilizer attachment structures
Inaccessible areas of stabilizers - corrosion - cracking
ENGINE
Accuracy of engine indicating gauges - tachometer - oil pressure - fuel flow - manifold pressure - exhaust gas temp (EGT) - cylinder head temp (CHT) - oil temperature - fuel pressure
Engine mounts - fatigue - cracking - condition of vibration isolators
Internal condition of exhaust piping
Condition of exhaust clamps and hardware
Turbocharge wastegate controller bench - check for proper operation

COMPONENT SERVICE LETTERS AND/OR ADVISORY MATERIAL DATE LAST INSPECTED/ REPLACED FINDINGS/NOTES
ENGINE (CONTINUED)
Accuracy of turbocharger system indicators
FUEL SYSTEM
Plumbing - rubber hoses
Fuel quantity - gauging accuracy
Fuel tank installation - corrosion - leakage - plumbing - attachment
FUSELAGE
Seat tracks - wear - cracking - positive locking of seats
Fuselage attach points - wing - stabilizer - landing gear
Inaccessible areas (remove all interior items, including headliner, side upholstery panels, carpeting, etc.) - corrosion - cracks
