NORMAL PROCEDURES
PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
The Preflight Inspection, described in Figure
4-1
and adjacent
checklist, is recommended. If the airplane has been in extended
storage, has had recent major maintenance, or has been operated from
rouah or
unprepared surfaces, an extensive exterior nspection is
recommended.

WARNING
FLIGHTS AT NIGHT AND IN COLD WEATHER INVOLVE
A CAREFUL CHECK OF OTHER SPECIFIC AREAS
DISCUSSED IN
THIS SECTION.
After maior maintenance has been performed, the flight and trim tab
controls should be double-checked for
free and correci movement and
securiiv. The securiiv of all inspection plates on the airplane should be
checkgd following periodic inspections:
If the airplane has been exposed to much ground handling in a
crowded hangar, it should be checked for dents and scratches on
wings, fuselage, and tail surfaces, as well as damage to navigation and
anti-collision lights, and avionics antennas. Outside storage in windy or
gusty areas, or tie-down adjacent to taxiing airplanes, calls for special
attention to control surface stops, hinges, and brackets to detect the
=,
presence of wind damage.
s
If the airplane has been operated from an unimproved runway, check
*,
the propeller tips for stone damage and the leading edges of the
horizontal tail for abrasion. Airplanes that are operated from rough
fields, especially at high altitude, are subjected to abnormal landing
gear abuse. Frequently check all components of the landing gear, tires,
~?,
and brakes.
=w
Outside storage may result in water and obstructions in airspeed
system lines, condensation in fuel tanks, and dust and dirt in the engine
~=,
1
air inlet and exhaust areas. If any water is suspected in the static
9
source system, open both static source drain valves and thoroughly
drain all water from the system.
