3. Exhaust System Inspection: The exhaust system should be inspected regularly for signs of corrosion or damage. This includes checking the exhaust elbows, risers, and mufflers, and ensuring that the exhaust system is properly sealed.

4. Fuel System Inspection: The fuel system should be inspected regularly to ensure that it is free from contaminants and that the filters are clean. This includes checking the fuel lines, and replacing filters and any damaged or worn components.

5. Propeller and Drive System Inspection: The propellers and drive systems should be inspected regularly to ensure that they are free from damage and that they are properly aligned. This includes checking and replacing the shaft seal (if need), transmission oil and oil filter.

6. Electrical System Inspection: The electrical system should be inspected regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly. This includes checking the alternator, sensor and starter, diagnosis via VODIA and ensuring that all electrical connections are clean and tight.
