Which temporary shop may cover phase inspections?

The correct choice for determining which temporary shop may cover phase inspections is the Periodic Maintenance Branch. The reason for this is that the Periodic Maintenance Branch is specifically focused on the regular inspection, maintenance, and servicing of equipment and systems to ensure operational readiness.

Phase inspections are a critical part of maintenance for certain systems where specific checks and services are conducted at regular intervals. These inspections often have a defined checklist of tasks that need to be completed, which aligns directly with the responsibilities of a branch dedicated to periodic maintenance.

While other branches like Maintenance Control, Quality Assurance, and Engineering Support play essential roles in the overall maintenance process, they do not specifically handle the operational execution of phase inspections. Maintenance Control oversees the organization and scheduling of maintenance tasks, Quality Assurance ensures compliance with standards and procedures, and Engineering Support provides technical assistance and guidance. However, it is the Periodic Maintenance Branch that is directly involved in executing and managing the inspections in question.
