Deploy this template during routine aerial or ground patrols mandated by DOT 49 CFR 195 regulations.
This template produces a compliant patrol record documenting pipeline condition and right-of-way integrity.
Most patrol reports fail audits because critical fields lack specificity or geospatial references.
