I just completed the Annual Inspection on the Cessna T310R operated by Gospel Carrier International. Fortunately I had the help of several men who volunteer in the hangar. Logan and Doug help out one day a week. Gary and his wife are from Pennsylvania and travel to Ohio for several weeks each year to help out at MMS. These folks make it possible for a one man team to get something done in a reasonable amount of time.

Annual Inspections are an FAA requirement for an aircraft to be considered airworthy. Everything on the plane is looked at and tested for proper operation to assure the safety of the crew and passengers. It takes a few days work just to remove all the panels and open up the interior for the inspection. Problems that are discovered during the inspection are then fixed, and the aircraft is returned to service. Fortunately, all the discrepancies on this inspection were minor, so we were able to keep on schedule.
