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 for 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.  That is true between pilots and even with one pilot in different situations.  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
