Check all items listed in the preceding 25 hour inspection

the COZY Newsletter from #12 on for any airworthiness
directives. Also any FAA AD's that would apply to certified
components/accessories. Be sure all are complied with prior to
returning your aircraft to service.
Review the weight and balance equipment list for currency

Update the weight and balance form. Reweigh every 3 years, or
