It may have been a version of AC 65-19x. No matter, those are obsolete and have been replaced by the document Bill referenced. I remember the "should be completed" as well, however, it wasn't a mandate. More like advice to not make a habit of routinely ending inspections before completion. At any rate, point taken. I can't believe a seller would agree to an annual inspection if he knew it may be stopped if a disqualifying condition was found.
