Visual inspection.
Inspect from top to bottom for scratches, cracks,
corrosion, signs of overstress and side-loading. Visually inspect the
struts for straightness. See Chapters 4.2.1.6.1 and 4.2.2.6.1.
Owner/Pilot
Wheels.
Inspect for cracks and corrosion. Check all hardware for
signs of loss of torque. Inspect tires for splitting, flat spots, wear, and
dry-rotting. Check tire pressure (2 bar /29 PSI), and service as
necessary. See Chapters 4.2.1.6.1 and 4.2.2.6.2.
Owner/Pilot

Inspect for condition, scratches, cracks, and signs of
overstress. Clean interior. See Chapter 4.2.1.5; Chapter 4.2.2.5 and

RLSA-M
Brake calipers, brake pads
and brake discs.
Clean and inspect for
condition, fluid leakage, for cracks and corrosion, security of
components. Inspect brake discs for pitting and signs of overheating.
Inspect all hardware for signs of loss of torque. Do not lubricate.
Ensure the brake discs have a little amount of free motion along the
wheel axle. See Chapter 4.2.3.
RLSA-M
Brake fluid reservoir.
Inspect for condition, security, and fluid level.
Service, if necessary.
