Do you do any special pre-flight or flight check?

Not meaning to be too pedantic, Paul, but Batavia to Rochester is about a
25 minute *drive*, as it is only 21 nautical miles airport to airport.

With the prevailing winds out of the west along that route, I would think
it more in the order of a six to ten minute flight.

Take a screwdriver on your preflight and give each access panel screw a
quick check. I have discovered access panels with screws that were quite
loose, as if the mechanic or assistant finger-tightened them with the
intent of revisiting them with a screwdriver at a later, non-existent time.
