PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
NOTE
Perhaps no other factor is quite so important to safety and durability of
the aircraft and its components
as faithful and diligent
attention to regular
checks for minor troubles and prompt repair when they are found.
The operator should bear in mind that the items listed in the following
pages do not constitute a complete aircraft inspection, but are meant for
the engine only. Consult the airframe manufacturer's handbook for
additional instructions.
Pre-Starting Inspection - The daily pre-flight inspection is a check of the
aircraft prior to
the first flight of the day. This
inspection is to determine
the general condition of the aircraft and engine.
The importance of proper pre-flight inspection cannot be over
emphasized. Statistics prove several hundred accidents occur yearly
directly responsible to poor pre-flight.
Among the major causes of poor pre-flight inspection are lack of
concentration, reluctance to acknowledge the need for a check list,
carelessness bred by familiarity and haste.
