Documenting your inspections
Inspections you've conducted are documented here. Each inspection shown will have one of these statuses:
- Open: Ready for you to document
- In Progress: Documentation has begun but is not finished.
- Evaluation: Documentation is complete and waiting for the Chief Inspector's review.
- Complete: Documentation is done and has been reviewed by the Chief Inspector
Key restrictions apply to inspection documentation. Only inspections listed on an approved E&I plan are eligible for documentation, which must occur within the same month scheduled. Inspections outside the current month or not on the plan cannot be recorded. Furthermore, inspections cannot be carried over to the following inspection period.

Select the employee's supervisor; by default, this will be the shop supervisor, which is managed within the Shops configuration.
Optional: Enter any equipment information that was applicable to the inspection. Use the Equipment toggle to identify aircraft or other equipment
Document any findings from the inspection by clicking the Add Findings button.
Record inspection findings by providing the Finding Category, Code, Reference, and any relevant Remarks. Click Save Finding to submit. To input more findings, select the Add Finding option
After filling out the inspection results form, submit it to the Chief Inspector for review by clicking on the Send for Chief Inspector Evaluation button. Your inspection results will change from “Open” to “Evaluation” status. Alternatively, if you need to pause, use Save Draft and continue later. This will change the inspection results to an “In Progress” status.
Upon submission of inspection results to the Chief Inspector, a review is mandatory. The Chief Inspector will then take one of two actions: either update/correct the results or finalize them by selecting the "Complete" button
