Annual Condition Inspection

• Logbook research and review

• Airworthiness Directive (AD) compliance check

• Engine compression test

• Airframe structural integrity inspection

• Rotor system inspection — blades, hub, bearings, bolts

• Flight control system check — cables, linkages, travel limits

• Landing gear inspection

• Fuel system and fuel cap inspection

• Oil system check and oil change

• Spark plug inspection and cleaning

• Propeller inspection

• Return-to-service documentation and logbook entry

The annual condition inspection must be signed off by an A&P; mechanic. Skipping or delaying your annual doesn't just put your aircraft out of compliance — it puts you at risk.

ELA Factory Certification means we know exactly what to look for on your specific aircraft — not a generic checklist, but manufacturer-level inspection knowledge applied to your gyrocopter.
