How frequently should you inspect the application equipment and aircraft?

Inspecting the application equipment and aircraft daily is essential for ensuring safety, compliance with regulations, and operational effectiveness. Daily inspections help identify any wear and tear, leakage, or mechanical issues before they become significant problems that could lead to equipment failure or safety hazards. Frequent checks promote accountability, ensure that all safety systems are functioning correctly, and confirm that the equipment is performing efficiently for the specific tasks at hand.

Additionally, given the nature of aerial application, where environmental conditions can change rapidly and where precision is critical for effective application, daily inspections allow for timely adjustments. This frequency is also often a requirement in many aviation regulations and agricultural best practices to maintain both the aircraft and application equipment in optimal working condition.

Less frequent inspections could allow problems to develop unnoticed, which could compromise the safety of the operation and the effectiveness of the application.
