h3dxb,
With all due respect Bo##ocks.
If a report 15 is generated or DFDR/QAR data shows a hard landing then you HAVE to do the inspection unless you can prove it is spurious. pilots have been known to cover their errors and not report hard landings.
I know of several instances when report 15's were generated with no crew entry including 2 where the gear wouldn't retract due to MLG damage resulting in oleo overextension (the torque links were the only thing holding the inner cylinder in place). These were subject to an AIB investigation.
Ignore a report 15 at your peril. Remember (in my company at least) a check of cfds printouts is a transit requirement and if you certify .........
