Type club members are encouraged to discuss this concept with their membership. The type clubs already serve an important role in maintaining the safety of the GA fleet. Developing a special inspection checklist would increase their positive impact on safety. In addition to providing detailed maintenance and inspection data, the checklist enhances the educational aspects of maintaining older airplanes and also promotes consistency in the industry. 

Summary
Reading and understanding this guide is just the starting point for any owner of an aging small airplane. You need to use the practices described in this document. Records research, development of a special inspection checklist, and inspecting airplanes per the checklist provides the safety benefit. Owners should find that keeping any records research and documentation of special inspections makes future inspections easier and increases the value of their airplane.
These benefits can be enhanced when information is shared with other owners, either through type clubs or other methods. This guide is meant to be a "living" document. Additional best practices will be added as they are developed.
Remember, in many ways airplanes age much like humans. Realize that age does take its toll. However, if owners take care of their airplanes properly, deal with concerns quickly, and keep up-to-date on the latest information, their airplanes will remain “healthy” and safe for a long time.
