maintenance check

Scheduled system review

A maintenance check is a routine inspection to verify that equipment, systems, or vehicles are functioning properly and safely.

The term appears most often in aviation, where aircraft undergo scheduled maintenance checks of varying intensity, but applies broadly to any systematic examination meant to catch problems before they cause failures: The technician performed a maintenance check on the HVAC system.
