| Monthly operational check/visual inspection | monthly per LSA Code |
|---|---|
| Annual thorough examination | 12 months |
| Winch brake load test | alongside the periodic (typically 5-yearly) dynamic load test - confirm exact interval with class/flag |
| On-load release gear overhaul | 5-yearly per SOLAS/maker's instructions |
| Wire fall replacement | per maker's/class condition criteria, commonly around 5 years or sooner if condition dictates - confirm rather than assume a fixed figure |
