FAA Inpection
Hello everyone!
I work in a Brazilian start up airline and we are about to take our first flight to USA.
My question is: What do the inspectors do and ask related to the flight, aircraft and company during the ramp inspection? What kind of questions?
What do they expect from the Captain and the crew?
Thanks in advance!!

FAA inspectors will ask to see...
Pilots licenses and medical certificates.
Load and trim form.
All aircraft documents, including the technical log and related attachments.
They will likely ask that you demonstrate the test mode of TCAS and EGPWS.
In addition, another inspector will be in the cabin, looking at CC documents, fire extinguishers, door slide/rafts, safety equipment etc.
Meanwhile, it is likely a third inspector will be assigned to the aircraft exterior, to look for obvious maintenance problems.
As long as all of your documents and safety equipment is in proper order, the FAA will say...thank you for your time, and then say goodbye.
