Daily Inspection ________________________________
The pilot-in-command has to perform an accurate visual inspection of the
motorglider before commencing of flight-operations.
Warning:
Flight-readiness must be checked accurately after the A/C
has been rigged or prior to the first flight of the day. Not
performing this check, or doing the check carelessly, could
result in major accidents!
The daily inspection of the entire motorglider should be performed as a walk-
around.
Caution:
During the visual inspection, check for: mechanical damage,
cracks, delamination, freedom-from-play, transmission of
forces, correct mounting, contaminations, foreign objects and
the general condition. Additionally, control-surfaces must be
checked for mobility.
Additionally to the mentioned checks, the motorglider must be inspected for
cracks in the finish, deformations and roughness of surfaces. If there is any
doubt about any results or findings, consult a specialist.
During walk-around check any drainage-holes and ventilation-openings and
clean them, if necessary (see maintenance-manual).
Perform the following checks during the walk-around. The checks are listed in a
system-oriented manner (Before beginning, turn OFF the ignition-switch AND
the master-switch!).
