Pre-Flight Inspection and Consumables
Make sure you remove these four items, if they are present: Cowl plugs, pitot tube
cover, tie-down ropes, chocks. No gust lock is used in Cirrus aircraft because the trim
cartridges are sufficient to prevent a gust from slamming the controls to the stops.
Beware of leaving a chock
behind a wheel. While it
may appear to be clear as
you pre-flight, once you add
weight to the plane this
chock could easily get
trapped and damage the
wheel pant as you taxi
away. The plane will also
tend to “Rock Back” once
the engine starts,
increasing the risk of
trapping a chock
If there is a canopy cover on, carefully remove it making note as to how to reinstall it. Be
careful not to scratch the paint as you remove and/or reinstall the canopy cover.
Whenever possible, store the canopy cover in its bag in the baggage compartment.
Use your best judgment if the cover is wet: A wet cover stored in its bag will go moldy; a
wet cover simply put in the baggage compartment will get the interior wet; a wet cover
left behind during a local flight could get wetter or dirtier, or could blow around on the
ramp causing a serious safety hazard.
