Which term describes an inspection that is scheduled at regular intervals rather than after a specific condition?

• A. Special Inspection
• B. Daily Inspection
• C. Turnaround Inspection
• D. Visual Inspection

Answer: (A)

Inspections planned at regular intervals are part of preventive maintenance, done to catch wear or deterioration before any problem shows up. The term described here is a planned, interval-based check that isn’t tied to a specific fault or condition. That’s what a special inspection refers to in this context: a scheduled examination at set times to verify and document the equipment’s condition. Daily inspections are repetitive, routine checks done every day, which is a specific cadence rather than the general concept of a regularly scheduled inspection. A turnaround inspection happens during a major maintenance window, not at ordinary, regular intervals. A visual inspection describes the method of inspection (what you look at) rather than how often you perform it.
