464 When is it necessary to perform a preflight inspection? correct answers Before any flight.
Pilots should verify the condition and airworthiness of their aircraft, whether it is the first flight
of the day or a subsequent flight made later in the day.
PA.II.A.K2 Determining that the airplane to be used is appropriate and airworthy.
Where would we find the documentation required for the aircraft to be airworthy? correct
answers ARROW
The location varies, but the registration, airworthiness certificate, and radio license (if required)
are typically found in a plastic-covered pocket on the sidewall of the flight deck area. The
operating limitations are included in the POH/AFM, as well as in the form of placards on the
flight deck, and the weight and balance information will be calculated by the pilot prior to each
flight.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
Where is the pitot tube on your airplane? correct answers The location of the pitot tube can vary
from aircraft to aircraft, but it is generally located midway along the leading edge of the wing. In
some cases, especially in small, pusher configuration airplanes, it is located on or near the nose
of the airplane.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
Where is the static port located on your airplane? correct answers The exact location of the static
port varies from one aircraft to the next, but the static port is usually located on the rear of the
pitot tube or along of the side the fuselage.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
How will we verify that we have sufficient fuel for our flight? correct answers We will verify
fuel levels before flight by visually inspecting the fuel tanks. We will monitor fuel use during our
flight by estimating fuel burn using the performance charts found in the POH/AFM, and we will
plan the duration of the flight accordingly.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
If you find water in a fuel sample, what would be the appropriate course of action? correct
answers I would continue sampling fuel from that tank until I found clear fuel samples that show
no indication of water or other contaminants.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
Why is evidence of water in the fuel tank such a consideration during the preflight inspection?
correct answers Water is heavier than fuel and sinks to the bottom of the fuel tank, where the fuel
is drawn from for use in the engine. Since water cannot support combustion, it can adversely
, affect performance. Small amounts of water can cause the engine to run rough. Larger amounts
of water can cause engine failure and make it impossible to restart the engine without draining
the contaminants in the tanks.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
What foreign matter would you be looking for in the air inlet to the engine compartment? correct
answers Birds often seek the warmth of a cooling engine and may attempt to build a nest on the
engine or in the air inlet to the engine compartment. These as well as any other foreign materials
should be completely removed before flight as they can limit airflow that is necessary to
adequately cool the engine, and might even cause a fire if they come in close contact with the
exhaust system.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
How would you check the oil level for your airplane? correct answers Explain the location of the
oil dipstick. Explain how to remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert the dipstick and remove it
again to check the level of the engine oil accurately. Only check the oil level when the engine is
turned off and has had a few moments for the oil in the engine to settle into the sump.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
What are we looking for when we inspect the propeller during the preflight inspection? correct
answers We are doing a general condition inspection. Our inspection is verifying that there are
no cracks in the prop, delaminations (wood or fiberglass props), bends, or obvious damage. We
are also inspecting for nicks to the leading edge of the prop. If we find a large or deep nick, we
should postpone our flight until we can consult with maintenance about the condition of the prop.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
Where can we find a checklist to follow when performing a preflight inspection on the airplane
we will be flying today? correct answers A preflight inspection checklist is included in the POH/
AFM appropriate to the specific type of aircraft. We will follow that checklist to assure ourselves
that we have checked everything that needs to be checked in an organized, methodical manner.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
Where can we find information regarding the fuel capacity of the airplane we are flying today?
correct answers Fuel capacity information can be found in the POH/AFM for the specific type of
airplane. We can look up the fuel capacity of the airplane prior to our flight and visually inspect
the tanks prior to flight to verify that we have a sufficient load of fuel before starting up the
engine.
PA.II.A.K3 Airplane preflight inspection
What is meant when we talk about usable fuel as opposed to fuel capacity? correct answers Fuel
capacity refers to the amount of fuel the aircraft can carry. Not all of the fuel can be delivered to
the engine, however. The small amount that remains in the tanks is referred to as unusable fuel
and should not be included in endurance calculations.
