Regulatory overlay (applies to every inspection)
Beyond the manufacturer checklist above, every annual or phase also reconciles:
| Item | Basis / interval | |
|---|---|---|
| Airworthiness Directives | AD compliance review | Review the full AD list for the airframe, engine, propeller and appliances and confirm each recurring AD is current. |
| ELT | 91.207(d) — every 12 calendar months | Inspect the emergency locator transmitter for mounting, battery corrosion, signal and battery life. |
| Transponder | 91.413 — every 24 calendar months | Transponder test and inspection required to use it. |
| Pitot-static / altimeter | 91.411 — every 24 calendar months (IFR) | Static system, altimeter and automatic altitude reporting test for IFR flight. |
| Life-limited parts | per the TCDS / manufacturer | Track and retire life-limited components at their published limits. |
| STC ICAs | Instructions for Continued Airworthiness | Fold in the ICAs from every STC installed on the airframe — each can add its own inspection tasks and intervals. |
Reference summary only. Work the inspection from current, subscribed manufacturer data and verify citations against the current 14 CFR and this aircraft's TCDS and STCs.
