Thruflight inspections are performed as a turnaround inspection prior to takeoff on the second and subsequent flights of the day for which aircraft types?

• A. All types
• B. Selected types
• C. Helicopters only
• D. Fixed-wing only

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is that thruflight inspections are not a universal requirement; they’re designated for specific aircraft types that have particular maintenance needs. These inspections are added to the turnaround before the second flight of the day to catch issues that could develop after the first flight, but only for the types that the maintenance program identifies as needing this extra check. That’s why the correct choice is that thruflight inspections apply to selected types. It isn’t all aircraft, nor is it limited to helicopters or fixed-wing only—the requirement depends on the type-specific maintenance policy.
