AFM/POH preflight inspection: ⦁ Landing gear control is DOWN, if applicable. ⦁ Master, alternator, and magneto switches are OFF. ⦁ Control column locks are REMOVED. ⦁ Fuel selectors should be checked for proper operation in all positions, including the OFF position. Stiff fuel selectors ... legible or lacking detents are unacceptable. ⦁ Trim wheels, which include elevator and may include rudder and aileron, are set for takeoff position. ⦁ Mechanical air-driven gyro instruments should be inspected for signs of hazing on the instrument face, which…

- PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
weather evaluation should include the direction and speed of the wind to determine their effects on takeoffs, landings, and other water operations. The preflight inspection of a seaplane is somewhat different from that of a landplane. Inspecting a seaplane ... other hand, preflighting a seaplane on land may create certain challenges because the wings and tail surfaces may be out of reach and difficult to inspect when standing on the ground. The following preflight description omits many items that…
