Do PreFlights Have An Expiration Date? - October 1, 2018
This week on SimpleFlight Radio, Marc and Al discuss:
The PreFlight
- With the impending return to flight of Marc's airplane, the SimpleFlight crew talked about the preparation\xa0for flying a plane that is fresh out of a major maintenance event.
For all it's structure and formalization, it's surprising to see the variability employed by pilots in conducting a PreFlight.\xa0 That is true between pilots\xa0and even\xa0with one pilot in different situations.\xa0 Listen in to hear Marc and Al discuss different factors, like:
- First Flight of the Day, vs. Subsequent Flights
- Type of Mission
- Impending Weather or Deadline
- Risk Profiles
- "Mandatory" vs. "Optional" Tasks
- PreFlight Hacks
