What types of maintenance activities require CDI inspections?

CDI inspections are required for all types of maintenance activities because their primary purpose is to ensure that the work done by maintenance personnel meets quality standards and complies with applicable regulations and directives. This includes not only organizational maintenance—where immediate and minor repairs are conducted—but also intermediate maintenance, which often involves more complex tasks, and depot-level maintenance, where significant overhauls or repairs are typically carried out.

By encompassing all these levels of maintenance, CDI inspections help to uphold safety, readiness, and performance standards across the board. This comprehensive approach is vital, as it ensures that any maintenance performed does not compromise the integrity of the equipment, regardless of the maintenance level involved. Skipping inspections or limiting them to certain types of maintenance could lead to undetected issues that may affect operational capability and safety.
