Pre-flight
Before flying, the pilot carefully checks the aircraft. He looks at the external surfaces for signs of damage. A plane may be damaged by a bird strike or lightning strike or contact with any other foreign object, or by service vehicles on the ground. Bent or distorted panels may be a visual indication of hidden damage to the airframe.
He then checks the nose gear for excessive wear or cuts on the tires.
He inspects the leading edge of the wing for damage and checks the fastenings on the engine cowling. He examines the visible fan blades on the engines.
Moving along the fuselage to the tail he does the same visual checks over all surfaces before ensuring that all cargo doors and access hatches are securely fastened.
Answer the questions:
1. What should a pilot do before the flight? 2. How may a plane be damaged?
4. What should a pilot check for when inspecting the nose gear?
