Technician Reference Document Overview
The Pre-Delivery Inspection Technician Reference Document is designed to be a resource used in hand with
the Pre-Delivery Inspection Checklist (PDI). The PDI Checklist has been simplified to make the process more
efficient, and in doing so, this document has been created to be used as a reference for checklist items that
may have additional information. On the PDI Checklist, you find that certain items have been notated with an
asterisk symbol (*), this lets you know that additional information can be found in this Technician Reference
Document.
Below you will find a list of each model, with the page numbers to their left. After navigating to the desired
page, you will notice each model page is formatted similarly to the PDI Checklists. After each section title is the
original checklist item, followed by any additional information specific to that model.
