From a B737 AMM, bird/hail strike inspection:
(a) Examine the wing, nacelle strut, and the horizontal vertical stabilizer leading edge fairing. Look for displacement, distortion, fastener hole elongation or tearout, and paint that has flaked. Also look for skin cracks, and fasteners that have pulled out or are not there.
(b) Examine the strut panels, doors, and structure for buckling, cracks, and fasteners that have pulled out or are not there.
(c) Examine the wing leading and trailing edge structure, panels, and doors. Look for displacement, distortion, paint that has flaked, cracks, and fasteners that have pulled out or are not there. Also examine the two sides of the honeycomb panels for cracks, delamination, soft spots and core damage.
(d) Examine the leading edge slat mechanism and track fairing links. Look for distortion, cracks, misalignment, or other signs of distress.
(e) Examine the trailing edge flap mechanism and track fairing links. Look for distortion, cracks, misalignment, or other signs of distress.
(f) Examine the control surfaces. Look for binding, too much play, misalignment, distortion, or displacement of skins. Also look for fasteners that have pulled out or are missing.
(g) Examine the nose landing gear doors and linkage. Look for distortion, cracks, and other signs of distress.
(h) Examine the main landing gear doors and linkage. Look for distortion, cracks, and other signs of distress.
(i) Examine the pilots' windows for delamination, spalling, or cracks. Also examine the adjacent structure for distortion, cracks, and fasteners that have pulled out or are not there.
(j) Examine the forward-body nose section "eyebrow" area above the windows and radome. Look for cracks, distortion, delamination, misalignment, and displacement of the skins. Also look for fasteners that have pulled out or are not there.
(k) Examine the internal and external areas of the radome. Look for honeycomb damage and for soft spots.
