How is the inspection for an exhaust cabin heater typically conducted?

The inspection for an exhaust cabin heater is typically conducted both visually and operationally. This dual approach allows for a comprehensive assessment of the system’s condition and functionality.

The visual inspection involves checking for any signs of damage, wear, or improper installation of the heater components. This can include assessing the integrity of the ducts, insulation, and any visible elements that may indicate leaks or blockages.

Operational testing complements this by verifying that the heater actually functions as intended under normal operating conditions. This includes checking the heating output, responsiveness to controls, and any associated safety features to ensure they engage correctly.

Incorporating both visual and operational inspections provides a thorough examination that helps to identify potential issues that could affect the performance or safety of the heater, ensuring it operates effectively for the comfort and safety of the aircraft's occupants.
