Good heads up on the article.
Ah, the old misconception that a pre-fligth is not required if the aircraft is left alone on the apron for a period of time during the day.
The pre-flight inspection should be the last thing one does before entering the aircraft to depart and as was explained earlier, should be done every time.
If one sticks to that then one would naturally complete an inspection every flight just before boarding and when the re-fueling and water checks have been done etc etc to check for loose caps, dripping drains etc and (as done a short time ago at a big airport in the South) leaving a manual on the wing which deposited a ream of pages across the runway!
