 3. AIRCRAFT WALKAROUND
To perform the aircraft walk-around, carry out the checklists according to the
pattern shown in Figure
Visual inspection is defined as follows: check for defects, cracks,
detachments, excessive play, unsafe or improper installation as well as for
general condition. For control surfaces, visual inspection also involves
additional check for freedom of movement and security. Red lubber lines on
bolts and nuts shall be intact.
Fuel level indicated by the fuel quantity indicators must be verified by visual
check of actual fuel quantity embarked in the tanks: graduated dipstick must
be used.
A. Left fuel filler cap: check visually for desired fuel level. Drain the left fuel tank by
drainage valve using a cup to collect fuel (drainage operation must be carried out with the
aircraft parked on a level surface). Check for water or other contaminants. Close filler cap.
B. Remove protection plug (if provided) and check the Pitot tube and the static ports mounted
on left wing are unobstructed; do not blow inside vents.
C. Left side leading edge and wing skin: visual inspection. Visual inspection of the
Nav/Strobe lights.
D. Left aileron, trim tab and hinges: visual inspection, check free of play, friction; Left tank
vent: check for obstructions.
E. Left flap and hinges: visual inspection
F. Left main landing gear: check inflation, tire condition, alignment, fuselage skin condition.
G. Horizontal tail and tab: visual inspection, check free of play, friction.
H. Vertical tail, rudder and trim tab: visual inspection, check free of play, friction. Visual
inspection of the /Strobe light.
I. Right main landing gear; check inflation, tire condition, alignment, fuselage skin
condition.
L. Right flap and hinges: visual inspection.
M. Right aileron, trim tab and hinges: visual inspection, check free of play, friction; Right
side tank vent: check for obstructions.
N. Right leading edge and wing skin: visual inspection. Visual inspection of the Nav/Strobe
lights.
O. Right fuel filler cap: check visually for desired fuel level. Drain the right fuel tank by the
drainage valve using a cup to collect fuel. Drainage operation must be carried out with the
aircraft parked on a level surface. Check for water or other contaminants. Close filler cap.
P. Set the fuel selector valve to ON. Drain circuit using a cup to
collect fuel by opening the specific drainage valve (part of the
gascolator). Check for water or other contaminants.
Q. Nose wheel strut and tire: check inflation, tire and rubber shock
absorber disc condition.
R. Propeller and spinner condition: check for nicks, cracks, dents
and other defects, propeller should rotate freely. Check fixing and
lack of play between blades and hub. Visual inspection of
Taxi/Landing light.
S. Open engine cowling:
1. Check no foreign objects are present.
2. Verify coolant level in the overflow bottle: level must be between
min. and max. mark. Replenish if required.
3. Only before the first flight of the day:
a) Verify coolant level in the expansion tank, replenish as required
up to top (level must be at least 2/3 of the expansion tank).
b) Turn propeller by hand in direction of engine rotation several
times and observe engine for odd noises or excessive resistance and
normal compression.
c) Exhaust: inspect for damages, leakage and general condition
4. Check radiators. There should be no indication of leakage of fluid
and they have to be free of obstructions.
5. Check oil level and replenish as required. Prior to oil check,
having Lanes switched off, turn the propeller by hand in direction of
engine rotation several times to pump oil from the engine into the
oil tank, or let the engine idle for 1 minute. This process is finished
when air is returning back to the oil tank and can be noticed by a
murmur from the open oil tank. Prior to long flights oil should be
added so that the oil level reaches the “max” mark.
6. Inspect fuel circuit for leakages.
7. Check integrity of silent-block suspensions.
8. Check connection and integrity of air intake system, visually
inspect that ram air intake is unobstructed.
9. Check that all parts are secured or safety.
T. Close engine cowling, check for proper alignment of cam-locks.
U. reserved
V. Remove tow bar and chocks, stow on board pitot, static ports and
stall warning protective covers
