"Jay Honeck" wrote: It's a basic part of the preflight actions. I also spend a good 15-20 minutes walking around my airplane before every flight I do a thorough pre-flight inspection before every flight. Every control surface is checked for continuity, all four gas tanks are visually inspected, oil is checked, wheel pants are given a tug, prop is examined, stall indicator movement verified, every screw, bolt and connector is visually inspected... I've still got 12 to 17 minutes left. What're you doing that I'm not? Check nav lights and rotating beacon Check electric fuel pump Check flap operation Sample fuel from each tank and from the gascalator Touch everything inspected (not just look at it but touch it - how can you tell a nut is loose just by looking?). Alternator belt is checked for freeplay Inspect tires and brakes (including exposed lines) -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |
