Best pilot training course

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

Visually check the aeroplane for general condition during walk-around inspection, aeroplane should be parked in a level ground attitude to ensure that fuel drain valves allow for accurate sampling use of the refuelling steps and assist handles will simplify access to the upper wing surfaces for visual checks and refuelling operations in cold weather, remove even small accumulations of frost ice or snow from wing tail and control surfaces, also make sure that control surfaces contain no internal accumulations of ice or debris. Prior to ✈ flight, check that Pitot heater is warm to touch within 30 seconds with 🔋 battery and Pitot heat switches on, if a 🌃 night flight is planned. Check operation of all lights and make sure a 🔦 flashlight is available

1. CABIN

1.PITOT TUBE COVER..... REMOVE - check for Pitot blockage.

2.PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK.... ONBOARD

3. PORTABLE ELB......... ONBOARD

4. AIR SICKNESS BAGS........ ONBOARD

5. AEROPLANE WEIGHT AND BALANCE.... CHECKED

6. PARKING BRAKE ......SET

7. CONTROL WHEEL LOCK.. REMOVE

8. IGNITION SWITCH.......... OFF

9.AVIONICS MASTER SWITCH.. OFF

WARNING

when turning on the master battery switch using an external power source, or pulling the propeller through by hand treat the propeller as if the ignition switch were on. Do not stand nor allow anyone else to stand within the ARC of the propeller since a loose or broken wire or a component malfunction could cause the propeller to rotate.

10. MASTER SWITCH........ ON

11. FUEL QUANTITY INDICATORS..... CHECK QUANTITY AND ENSURE LOW FUEL ANNUNCIATORS (L low fuel R) are extinguished

12. AVIONICS MASTER SWITC... ON

13. AVIONICS COOLING FAN...... CHECK Sounds FOR OPERATION.

14. AVIONICS MASTER SWITCH... OFF

15. STATIC PRESSURE ALTERNATE SOURCE VALVE.......OFF

16. ANNUNCIATOR PANEL TEST SWITCH.. PLACE HOLD IN POSITION AND ENSURE ALL AMBER AND RED ANNUNCIATORS ILLUMINATE

17. ANNUNCIATOR PANEL TEST SWITCH... RELEASE CHECK THAT APPROPRIATE ANNUNCIATORS REMAIN ON

NOTE

When master switch is turned on, some Annunciators will flash for approximately 10 seconds before illuminating steadily. When panel TST switch is toggled up and held in position, all remaining lights will flash until the switch is released

18. FUEL SELECTOR VALVE....... BOTH

19. FLAPS........ EXTEND

20. PITOT HEAT...... ON only if required for flight (carefully check that Pitot tube is warm to touch within 30 seconds)

21. PITOT TUBE......... OFF

22. MASTER SWITCH..... OFF

2. EMPENNAGE

1. RUDDER GUST LOCK...... REMOVE

2. TAIL TIE DOWN.... DISCONNECT

3. CONTROL SURFACES... CHECK (freedom of movement and security)

4. TRIM TAB........ CHECK SECURITY

5. ANTENNAS....... CHECK For security of attachment and general condition

3. RIGHT WING TRAILING EDGE

1. FLAP.......CHECK Security and condition

2. AILERON.......... CHECK freedom of movement and security.

4. RIGHT WING

1. WING TIE DOW... DISCONNECT

2. MAIN WHEEL TIRE..... CHECK for proper inflation and general condition

WARNING

If after repeated sampling, evidence of contamination still exists, the airplane should not be flown, tanks should be drained and system purged by qualified maintenance personnel, all evidence of contamination must be removed from further flight

3. Fuel tank sump quick drain valve drain valves... Drain at least a cupful of fuel, (using sampler cup) from each sump location to check for water sediment and proper fuel grade before each flight and after each refuelling, if water is observed, take further samples until clear and then gently Rock wings and lower tail to the ground to move any additional contaminants to the sampling points, take repeated samples from all fuel drain points until all contamination has been removed, if contaminants are still present refer to obove warning and do not fly aeroplane

4. Fuel quantity....... Check with dipstick for desired level

5. Fuel filler cap...... secure

5.NOSE

1. Fuel selector quick drain valve (located on bottom of fuselage below the fuel selector valve) ......DRAIN At least a cupful of fuel (using sampler cup) from valve to check for water sediment and proper fuel grade before each flight and after each refuelling. If water is observed take further samples until clear and then gently Rock wings and lower tail to the ground to move any additional contaminants to the sampling points. Take repeated samples from all fuel drain points until all contamination has been removed. If contaminants are still present refer to warning above and do not fly aeroplane.

2. Engine oil dipstick / filler cap.. Check oil level than check dipstick /filler cap secure. Do not operate with less than five quarts fill to eight quarts for extended flight.

3. Engine cooling air inlets...... Clear of obstructions

4. Propeller and spinner-- check for nicks and security.

5. Air filter..........check for restrictions by dust or other foreign matter

6. Nose wheel strut and tire check for proper inflation of strut and general condition (weather checks tread depth and wear etc) of tyre

7. Static source opening check for blockage

6. LEFT WING

1. Fuel quantity......... check with dipstick for desired level

2. Fuel filler cap............ secure

3. Fuel tank sump quick drain valve.... DRAIN at least a cupful of fuel (using a sampler cup) from each sump location to check for water sediment and proper fuel grade before each flight and after each refuelling. If water is observed, take further samples until clear and then gently Rock wings and lower tail to the ground to move any additional contaminants to the sampling points, take repeated samples from all fuel drain points until all contamination has been removed. If contaminants are still present do not fly aeroplane.
