Section #7 covers what I use as a condition inspection which is based on FAR 43, appendix D. You can also get the "official" FAA requirements for a condition inspection at: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aircraft-building/building-your-aircraft/while-your e-building/registering-articles/~/media/ddafff0334c14062a0722a7f6d74554e.as hx I hope this helps.

While a regular A&P and IA can check the engine, prop, etc they may not have the needed background to inspect the build. This is espe cially important with composite aircraft. Have the build manual and build records in hand to make sure everything was done correctly on the actual aircraft. I there are changes from the manual (there will always be some) make sure they were properly thought out and e ngineered if needed. I have seen many modifications and some are great but others not so much and some are unsafe. Even if the aircraft has flown for a thousand hours this is not proof that the build was safe or correct. With the TR4 the two main problem areas are the main gear attachment and th e nose gear. Look extra carefully at the flaps and controls. Look at all th e secondary layups that you can and check for good bonding, workmanship and feathered edges. If you can put a fingernail under the edges of the layup there could be issues. Be very worried about fuel leaks. If auto fuel was e ver used be very concerned. Use a USB bore scope to inspect areas that are hard to see. In general, everything can be fixed but somethings are harder and more expe nsive to fix correctly than others.
