# Defining FM Inspection Schedules

The Inspection Schedules is defined similarly to the [CAIR Schedule](/v414/docs/defining-fma-cairs), with 2 exceptions:

- An Inspection Schedule can be set to be [recurring](/v414/docs/fma-schedule-lifecycle). This is done when the Schedule is created, or later in the Details Section. In this case a new Schedule will automatically be created when the Schedule is credited in an [ECH](/v414/docs/fma-ech).
