hands-on (arm's length) Explanation: I'd go with either of these. 'hands-on' gets more hits, but both are used in this reference (http://www.iaarc.org/publications/fulltext/ISARC2017-Paper04... As in 'hands-on (visual) inspection' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 2 hrs (2017-12-14 21:38:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So your sentence would be like ..."using hands-on inspection under approximate daylight conditions" |
