TRANSFER INSPECTIONAn inspection per-
formed at the time an aircraft changes physical or
reporting custody. It includes an inventory of items
listed in the AIR, verification of CADs and AEPSs,
configuration verification, and a daily inspection.
CAD, AEPS, and configuration verifications are
performed by visual external inspection and record
examination only. Disassembly beyond daily in-
spection requirements of applicable PMS publica-
tions is not required. Flight hours should be
verified as correct on the Monthly Flight Summary
(OPNAV 4790/21A) by checking the Period and
Since New blocks. In addition, correct operating
hours should be verified on the Equipment
Operating Record (OPNAV 4790/31A) by
checking the ACCUM block. Activities may elect
to increase inspection depth if the aircraft material
condition or record examination indicates such
action is warranted. Aircraft transferred from a
depot or commercial repair activity require
hydraulic fluid sampling prior to transfer.
TRANSFER INSPECTION (SE)An inspection
performed at the time a reporting custodian trans-
fers an item of SE on a permanent basis. It includes
an inventory of all records and components that
make up the item of SE, a configuration
verification, a preoperational inspection as
