SECTION 4 - NORMAL PROCEDURES CESSNA
FAA APPROVED MODEL 182T
NOTE
Visually check airplane for general condition during walk-around
inspection. Airplane should be parked in a normal ground attitude
(refer to Figure 1-1) to ensure that fuel drain valves allow for
accurate sampling. Use of the refueling steps and assist handles
will simplify access to the upper wing surfaces for visual checks
and refueling 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. If a night flight is planned, check
operation of all lights, and make sure a flashlight is available.
