Outside inspection
The preflight inspection described in figure 4.4.1 is recommended before each flight.
●
NOTE
●
If a preflight inspection is performed just after the engine shutdown, be careful
because the leading edge of engine air inlet, as well as exhaust stubs may be
very hot.
●
If the airplane was in long term storage or if it has undergone major maintenance or if it
has been used from emergency airfields, a thorough outside inspection is
recommended.
When the airplane is stored outside, the use of the flight control lock and blanking
covers is recommended. Propeller should be tied down to prevent rotation without oil
pressure.
When the airplane is stored for extended periods of time, a thorough preflight
inspection is recommended. Particular attention should be paid to possible blockages
in airspeed sensing lines, foreign objects in engine intake and exhaust stubs and
water contamination of the fuel system.
