Preflight Inspection
The preflight inspection section outlines the essential checks to be performed before flight. It includes verifying that the Pilots Operating Handbook is on board, checking the A.R.R.O.W documents, ensuring the control lock is removed, and setting the parking brake. Additional checks involve ensuring the avionics are off, circuit breakers are in, and the flaps and gear switch are correctly positioned.
Cabin Checks
In the cabin checks, pilots must confirm that the battery switch is turned on, fuel quantity is checked via gauges, and exterior lights are operational before turning them off. The checklist emphasizes the importance of these checks to ensure the aircraft is ready for flight.
Right Wing Checks
The right wing section requires checks on the flap and aileron, position light, leading edge, and fuel quantity. It also includes visual checks of the tire, gear well, and brakes, as well as verifying that the landing gear strut shows 2 inches.
Nose Checks
The nose section includes checking the oil level (minimum 6 quarts, maximum 8 quarts), inspecting the propeller and spinner, and ensuring the air inlet is unobstructed. The checklist also requires checking the alternator belt tension and the nosewheel strut, which should show 2-3 inches.
Left Wing Checks
Similar to the right wing, the left wing checks include fuel drain and quantity checks, tire and gear well inspections, and ensuring the landing gear strut shows 2 inches. It also includes checking the pitot mast and stall warning vane.
Empennage & Aft Fuselage Checks
The empennage section requires checks on the fresh air inlet, stabilator, rudder, and position light. It also emphasizes securing baggage with tie downs and ensuring the baggage door is secure.
Safety notes
- Ensure all checks are completed to maintain safety and compliance.
- Verify that the control lock is removed before flight.
