should verify actual fuel quantity visually in tanks before takeoff.
6.1.1.2 External Inspection
It is best to follow the external inspection in the station order outlined in fig. 6-1 so nothing is missed.
Visual inspection is defined as follows: check for defects, cracks, detachments, excessive play, and unsafe or improper
installation as well as for general condition. For control surfaces, visual inspection also involves additional checks for freedom
of movement and security.
