Sediment can arise from dust/dirt entering the tanks.ĭrain fuel from gascolator/tanks and check for color, smell, water, contamination.
#Preflight inspection full#
Usually from condensation in partially filled tanks or bad seals-keep the tanks full to minimize the opportunity for condensation. Runways, taxiways, and ramp restrictions.
Current NOTAM information may affect: Aerodromes. Pilots may change their flight plan based on available information. Water and other sediment is heavier than fuel and will accumulate in the low points. these ideas will provide a good chance of identifying when there is something wrong with the airplane, prior to having it make loud, disturbing noises in flight. 14 CFR 91.103, Preflight Action directs pilots to become familiar with all available information concerning a planned flight prior to departure, including NOTAM s. Supervise fueling to ensure you get the right type and grade of fuel, and to ensure the fuel caps are in place.ĭo not substitute lower grade of fuel-will result in detonation. Knowing which ones are critical and giving them special attention is a good habit. Being relevant to the aircraft’s fitness for the intended flight, this essential requirement is implemented by the Commission Regulation (EU) 1321/2014 for. Pre-flight involves inspecting a lot of different components, but some are more important than others. Using Jet-A in a reciprocating engine will destroy it from detonation (uncontrolled explosive combustion of the fuel/air mixture in the cylinder’s combustion chamber). The pre-flight inspection forms part of the essential requirements for air operation, as required in Annex V (point 6.2) of the ‘Basic Regulation’ (Regulation (EU) 2018/1139). Quantity-confirm quantity indicated on gauge by a visual inspection and/or fuel stick.Īirplane attitude and gauge malfunctions can result in incorrect readings.Ĭontamination-100LL (avgas) is blue and has a familiar gasoline scent
