NOTE
Visually check airplane for general condition during
walk-around inspection. Use of the refueling steps and
assist handles (if installed) will simplify access to the
upper wing surfaces for visual checks and refueling
operations. In cold weather, remove even small accumula ­
tions of frost, ice or snow from wing, tail and control
surfaces. Also, make sure that control surfaces contain no
internal accumulations of ice or debris. Prior to flight,
check that pitot heater
(if
installed) is warm to touch
within 30 seconds with battery and pitot heat switches on.
If
a night flight is planned, check operation of all lights,
and make sure a flashlight is available.
