FLYING YOUR GOLD 95/115/130
Pre-flight inspection
Before your first flight, and before every flight, it is absolutely essential to perform a pre-flight inspection
on your aircraft
WARNING!
Failure to perform a sufficient preflight has been a contributing factor to accidents in all
kinds of aircraft
Equipment damage, bodily injury, even death can occur due to equipment problems not caught in a
preflight inspection
As the saying goes, “Preflight as if your life depends on it, because it does!”
