                Definitions:

             For the purpose of this AD:

             A detailed inspection (DET) is: "An intensive examination of a specific item, installation or assembly to detect damage, failure or irregularity.  Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate.  Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying lenses, etc., may be necessary.  Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures may be required."

             A FNC is: "A quantitative check to determine if one or more functions of an item performs within specified limits."

             An OPC is: "A task to determine if an item is fulfilling its intended purpose.  Since it is a failure finding task, it does not require quantitative tolerances."
