Static Port. There is a static source on each side aft of
the rear window. Make sure it’s not blocked,
contaminated or covered over, such as with masking
tape.
Just above this on the "spine" of the fuselage is the
frangible area through which the ballistic parachute
fires. That area should be perfectly smooth. If it is
somehow uneven, that's a maintenance red flag.
Please look and feel.
Horizontal Stabilizer. Ensure the clear tape covering
access holes is intact.
Opposite those holes on the elevator horn is the
counterweight. As you circle the empennage,
remember to look down to make sure the two pairs of
access holes in the horizontal stabilizer are covered
with clear tape and that the opposing counterweight is
present, as well as up to make sure that the
counterweight is present in the rudder.
Tail. Looking up with the rudder deflected. See the
safety-wired counterweight.
