Special Inspection is described as what?

• A. An unscheduled check after a defect
• B. A rapid visual check
• C. A scheduled inspection with prescribed interval
• D. Nondestructive evaluation

Answer: (C)

Special inspections are planned at a defined interval within the maintenance program. They happen on a schedule because certain items require closer monitoring over time, regardless of immediate defects. That makes them a scheduled inspection with a prescribed interval. They aren’t simply reactive checks after a defect, nor are they just a rapid visual check, and nondestructive evaluation refers to testing methods rather than a type of inspection.
