Daily inspection
After the aircraft has been rigged and always before the first flight of the
day, the aircraft must be inspected carefully to ensure its airworthiness.
The following inspection is essential for flight safety:

Forward fuselage ①
Check the functionality of the nose release hook.

1. Ensure that the canopy is clean.
2. Check the canopy emergency release mechanism: pull back
both jettison latches slowly. A detent should be noticeable to the
touch once the mechanism reaches the end of the normal
opening and the emergency release is engaged. Care should be
taken not to release the canopy completely without having
assistance to prevent it from falling.
3. Ensure that the main pins are secured properly.
