As the inspection plan includes comprehensive inspections, it will not be possible to cover all the desired elements in the time available for a particular inspection without causing unreasonable delay to the foreign air operator. As inspections on aircraft of any one operator may be conducted at different airports by different authorised inspectors, the overall inspection plan will need to take this into account. Some elements should be covered at every inspection; others can be covered over a number of inspections. Thus, comprehensive records shall be maintained of all inspections of aircraft of a particular operator in a central database, in either paper or electronic format that is accessible to, and updated by, the authorised inspectors concerned. From these records it is necessary to plan the content of inspections so that a complete inspection of the aircraft of any one operator is undertaken over a defined period. Selection of a particular aircraft to inspect should normally be done at random, in a manner. However, the principles of risk management to identify operations perceived to present a higher safety risk and, as a result, conduct additional inspection activities aimed at those operations, which can be linked to a specific: State of the Operator; Aircraft type; Nature of operations (scheduled, non-scheduled, cargo, air taxi, etc.); Foreign operator; or Individual aircraft. Inspections Types Areas to be checked during a Ramp (Apron) Check are: Flight Deck; / Safety; Aircraft External Condition; Cargo; and General. of a foreign operator ramp (Apron) inspection - It is not possible to cover all items on the checklist at every ramp inspection. Inspections should be planned to cover high risk items and to cover all other items over a series of inspections. It is essential that adequate records are kept, and that is complete coordination between all authorised inspectors involved in ramp inspections for any one operator.
