Which inspection is conducted after landing or en route?

• A. Post flight inspection
• B. Preflight inspection
• C. Engine run-up
• D. In-flight check

Answer: (A)

Post-flight inspection is conducted after landing or when you’ve completed a leg of the flight. The purpose is to verify the aircraft’s condition after operation, catch any issues that may have arisen during the flight, and prepare the machine for the next leg. Technicians check for fluid leaks, inspect the airframe and control surfaces for damage, verify fuel and oil levels, look for abnormal wear or heat signs, and secure items that could cause problems on the next flight. This timing is distinct from a preflight inspection (done before flight to ensure airworthiness), an engine run-up (a ground power and engine performance check typically done before takeoff), and any in-flight checks (monitoring systems during flight but not a post-flight procedure).
