Damage is defined as any condition that is not normal or not within limits.
Examples of conditions to look for are: inoperable equipment, excessive leak-
age, discoloration caused by heat, loose attachment, dents, cracks, punctures,
abrasion, chafing, galling, nicks, scratches, delamination and evidence of corro-
sion. These are the most common types of damage, however, checks should not
be limited to these items.
Further checks shall be performed before the next flight if discrepancies are
noted to determine if the aircraft is airworthy. Flight is prohibited when unrep-
aired damage exists which makes the aircraft unairworthy.
