One responsibility we take on before any flight, under visual or instrument flight rules, is ensuring we have gathered all information pertinent to the safety of that specific flight.

The list of inspections gets longer if the aircraft is for compensation/for hire, or if flown under instrument flight rules (IFR). There are a few exceptions when the aircraft can be flown outside of this timeframe, such as when a special flight permit is issued. There are also required inspections for civil aircraft.
