•
Check PhostrEx canister pressure by viewing the pressure gauge on the top of the
engine pylon. The pressure should be in the green arc (see note for cold weather
operations)
NOTE
If the outside air temperature is -10°C or lower and the aircraft has been soaked at
or near that temperature, the fire canister pressure reading may be at or below
the green band on the canister pressure gauge. For outside
air temperatures below -10°C refer to AFM Figure 4-2

Engine
Inlet
CONDITION
•
Inspect engine inlet for damage. Ensure all surfaces of the engine inlet are free of
dents and other deformities that would diminish airflow and anti ice capability.

Do not touch the fan blades as oil from the fingertips will contaminate the blades. The
pilot should only rotate the fan by placing their hand on the hub and rotating.

Nacelle
Skin
CONDITION
•
Inspect engine nacelle for damage. All surfaces at fasteners should be secure and
flush with the surface of the nacelle.
6. Oil Level and Servicing Door
CHECK, SECURITY
•
Check that engine oil levels are between MIN and MAX on the sight gauge.
Significant ramp slope may affect oil level indications. If additional oil is required,
use the same brand Type II oil previously used. If necessary, refer to the engine
log for the brand name.
NOTE
Use only approved turbine engine oils; do not mix brands or types.

Drain
Lines

CLEAR
•
Inspect all drain lines for obstructions and signs of damage.

Inspect engine exhaust and bypass duct for blockage and damage. Care should be
taken when inspecting these components after engine operation as they will
remain hot.
