PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
The Pre-flight inspection as covered below is recommended prior to the first
flight of the day.
Inspection procedures for subsequent flights can be abbreviated provided
essential items such as fuel and oil quantities, security of fuel and oil filler caps
are satisfactory. After refuelling fuel samples must be taken from all drain
points, three in total, one in each of the two wing fuel tanks and one under
the fuselage.
Aircraft operated from rough strips, especially at high altitudes, are subject to
abnormal undercarriage abuse.
Frequent checks of all undercarriage components, tyres and brakes is
warranted in these situations.

The fuel gauges used in the J160/J170 use a sender unit which has a built-in
analogue needle indicator for fuel level. These senders are located in the
wing roots and are visible to the crew.
These units may be used to confirm the fuel level being displayed by the
gauges fitted to the instrument panel.
Note that due to the shape of the wing tanks, the gauges will read full from
when the tank is full until its level has dropped below around 50 litres. This must
be taken into account by manually checking fuel quantity (dipping the
tanks) before a long flight.
