Of course! Here’s a clear list of A-checks and C-checks typically done for an aircraft. I’ll make it structured and easy to follow:
A-Check (every ~400–600 flight hours or 200–300 cycles)
Light maintenance, usually done overnight or during short downtime.
General A-Check Items:
- Visual inspection of fuselage, wings, landing gear.
- Lubrication of key parts (hinges, actuators, etc.).
- Operational checks of emergency equipment (oxygen bottles, fire extinguishers).
- Cabin interior check (seats, belts, lavatory systems).
- Inspection of fluid levels (oil, hydraulic fluid, potable water).
- Tire and brake inspection.
- Avionics system functional check.
- Lighting systems check (internal and external).
- Minor software updates (if applicable).
- Fuel leak checks.
- Drain water separators and sumps.
- Replacement of filters (air conditioning, hydraulics).
- Battery condition inspection and servicing.
C-Check (every ~20–24 months or specified flight hours/cycles)
Much deeper inspection, aircraft out of service for 1–2 weeks typically.
General C-Check Items:
- Detailed structural inspection (using borescopes, non-destructive testing like ultrasonic or X-ray methods).
- Comprehensive system checks (hydraulics, pneumatics, avionics, flight control systems).
- Full landing gear inspection and servicing (may involve partial disassembly).
- Interior refurbishment (carpets, panels, seats removal for inspection).
- Corrosion inspection and treatment.
- Electrical wiring checks and potential rewiring.
- Pressure bulkhead and door seal inspections.
- Engine and APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) inspections (sometimes off-wing checks).
- Removal and inspection of flight control surfaces (rudder, elevators, ailerons).
- Update or modification of airworthiness directives (ADs) or service bulletins (SBs).
- Detailed fuel tank inspection (including opening of tank access panels).
- Full operational tests of backup and redundant systems.
- Replacement of life-limited parts nearing expiration.

I can format it nicely for you if you want!
