AMPLIFIED NORMAL PROCEDURES

4.4.1 PREFLIGHT

4.4.1.1 Cockpit

Enter the cockpit and operate the flight controls to
ascertain that they operate freely in the correct sense. As
a rule of thumb, if the stick is moved towards a control
surface, that surface must go up.
It is good practice to set trim control to the takeoff
position and the fuel selector to both at this point. Ensure
that both operate smoothly.
Check the flaps by lowering them to the takeoff and
landing positions and retracting them.
Ensure that there is enough fuel for the intended flight by
checking the quantity gauges.
The mixture should be in the Idle/cut off position and the
carburetor heat in the off (cold) position.
Ensure that the magnetos are off.
Check that all the electrical systems that will be used for
the flight operate as intended. To confirm that the stall
warning is functioning correctly, with the master switch
on, have someone gently operate the vane on the leading
edge of the right wing. After operating the electrical
system, make sure that all circuit breakers are in.
Check that the windows are clean and clear of frost or
snow.
