The EOR Inspection is performed for what purpose?

The EOR (End of Runway) Inspection is conducted primarily to perform a final visual inspection of the aircraft just prior to takeoff. This inspection is crucial as it allows the crew to confirm that all systems are functioning properly and that there are no visible issues that could compromise the safety of the flight. The EOR Inspection serves as a last checkpoint to ensure that the aircraft is fully prepared for departure, which includes a careful review of overall condition and readiness of the aircraft.

While checking for mechanical issues, ensuring safety equipment is onboard, and pre-flight planning are important aspects of overall flight safety and preparation, they are generally addressed in earlier stages of the pre-flight checks or inspections. The key capability of the EOR Inspection is to provide an immediate and close-up verification that the aircraft is ready for its flight at that specific moment, making it an essential step right before takeoff.
