• Critical areas are where the firewall attaches to the fuselage, each wing spar mates
with the fuselage, the tailcone attaches to the forward fuse, and the empennage
components attach to the tailcone.
• Visually inspect that both of the static ports are clear.
• Test the condition and security of the left and right boarding steps.
• Inspect the condition of the electrical connections that correspond to the wing. The
connections must be free of corrosion and any damage.
• Inspect the inside diameter of each flaperon torque tube for rust/corrosion and verify
that the UHMW plastic spacers are in place in the actuating arms of the flaperon
torque tubes.
