GENERAL INSPECTIONS
1. General
Preflight as well as postflight inspections are part of the general inspection procedure. In general these
inspections are performed on a daily base. These inspections are described in the Airplane Flight
Manual and are performed by the pilot.
2. Preflight Inspection
This inspection should be performed before the first flight of the day to determine the general condition
of the airplane and its engine.
Specific attention should be given to the preflight inspection, because many accidents were caused
by insufficient preflight inspection. It must be ensured that all switches are in the OFF position (also
refer to the Airplane Flight Manual) before any inspection is attempted.

3. Postflight Inspection
