Figure 4-1a Preflight Inspection
Note: Visually check airplane for general
condition during walk around inspection. In
cold weather, remove even small
accumulations of frost, ice or snow from
wing, tail and control surfaces. Also, make
sure that control surfaces contain no
internal accumulations of ice or debris. Prior
to flight, check that pitot heater (if installed)
is warm to touch within 30 seconds with
battery and pitot heat switches on. If a night
flight is planned, check operation of all
lights, and make sure a flashlight is
available.
