Recurring inspection scheduling based on aircraft usage

**1. Purpose**

1. Automate the scheduling of recurring aircraft inspections according to aircraft flight hours, cycles, or calendar intervals.

2. Reduce human error by setting dynamic triggers based on real-time aircraft utilization data and regulatory schedules.

3. Ensure continuous compliance with aviation authorities by generating scheduled tasks and notifications systematically.

4. Streamline communication across teams and departments with work order creation and assignment upon meeting scheduling criteria.

**2. Trigger Conditions**

1. Aircraft exceeds predefined flight hours or cycles (e.g., every 100 flight hours).

2. Set calendar intervals (e.g., every 6 months since last inspection).

3. Integration with flight operation logs or aircraft telemetry data to auto-detect usage thresholds.

4. Manual override or ad-hoc inspection request triggers.
