What information is recorded in Block 2 of the Aircraft Inspection Record?

Block 2 of the Aircraft Inspection Record is specifically designated for the Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) of the aircraft being documented. This information is crucial as it helps identify the exact specifications and characteristics of the aircraft, ensuring that inspections and maintenance are aligned with the correct standards and protocols for that particular type.

The significance of accurately recording the T/M/S in the inspection record lies in safety and compliance with Navy regulations. Each aircraft model may have unique requirements for inspections and maintenance procedures that need to be adhered to strictly to maintain operational readiness and safety. The reference to T/M/S ensures that all personnel involved are aligned with regard to which aircraft they are working on, thereby preventing errors that could arise from confusion over different types or models.

Other areas of the inspection record, like fuel load, oxygen levels, or the date of pilot acceptance, play important roles in overall operational readiness and safety. However, they are not the specific focus of Block 2. Understanding these distinctions is vital for personnel responsible for aircraft maintenance and safety inspections.
