4. Visual Inspection Criteria

When an area of the helicopter is visible
during an inspection or maintenance action, do
the "General Visual Inspection" (ref. Part A.)
and the "Corrosion Control" (ref. Part B.)
without disassembly or removal of adjacent
equipment (unless otherwise specified). It will
normally apply to those areas, surfaces, or
items which become visible by the removal or
opening of access doors, panels, fairings, or
cowlings. It must include a visual examination
with the necessary inspection aids of the area,
component, detail, assembly, or installation
and its adjacent environment, in addition to
related equipment in the adjacent area.
NOTE:
Ref. CSP-SPM, Section 20-90-00, for
detailed nondestructive inspection methods.
A. General Visual Inspection
A visual inspection to find obvious unsatisfac­
tory conditions/discrepancies. This inspection

casings of units in systems and in
electrical, instrument, and radio
