4-2. PILOT’S PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
Visually check the following items for wear, general condition and
obvious damage. Damage is defined as any condition that is not
normal or not within limits. Examples of conditions to look for are:
inoperable equipment, excessive leakage, discoloration due to heat,
dents, cracks, punctures, abrasion, chaffing, galling, nicks and
evidence of corrosion. These are the most common types of
damage; however, do not limit inspection to the above conditions.
1. If discrepancies are noted perform further inspection prior to
flight.
2. Flight is prohibited when unrepaired damage exists which makes
the rotorcraft unairworthy.
