DO NOT touch any probe; oil from your finger will provide an adhesive surface for dirt
to collect around port openings.
6. Oxygen Servicing Port Door SECURED
• Verify oxygen level is sufficient for the flight. Oxygen bottle pressure may also be
verified in the cockpit. The service port door should be tightly secure and flush with
the skin of the aircraft.
NOTE
The red line on the oxygen service gauge is displayed differently from the red line on
the oxygen pressure gauge in the cockpit. The service port gauge has a red line at the
high pressure end to define the maximum pressure capacity of the oxygen bottle. The
interior gauge has a redline to indicate the lowest usable pressure.
7. Oxygen High Pressure Burst Disk CONDITION
• Verify blowout disc is visible and is intact. A blown disk indicates that the oxygen
system has been improperly serviced and the aircraft’s oxygen system must be
inspected before flight.
NOTE
It is advisable that during the filling operation all servicing personnel should maintain a
clear area immediately in front of the indicator disk.
8. Nose Gear, Doors and Tire CONDITION, SECURITY
• Verify tire has sufficient tread depth. If tire pressure is low fill the tire to the
appropriate pressure. The nose gear actuator should be retracted and the
downlock proximity sensor should be firmly attached to its mounting surface.
9. Nose Gear Hard Landing Indicator CONDITION
• Verify hard landing indicator tab is not bent.
NOTE
A bent tab indicates a hard landing and the aircraft’s landing gear requires inspection
prior to flight.
RIGHT NOSE
1. Radome CONDITION, SECURITY
• The radome should be free of cracks, chips, and scratches. A damaged radome
will impair radar signal quality.
2. VCS Inlet door CONDITION, SECURITY
• Verify air conditioning door hinges allow free and unobstructed operation of the
door. If the air conditioning system is running the door will be open.
