SHUT DOWN CHECKS?
On stand.
Away from fuel pumps.
Park brake on.
Radios off.
Throttle set. IDLE.
Magneto switch.....
To Left... back to ON.
To Right...back to ON.
To OFF...back to ON.
(Deadcut check).
SHUT DOWN.
If leaving key in aircraft (if it has a key) do not leave in place. Hang it on a knob.
Always believe Magnetos ae live.
After shut down and all systems off, there is not a way to check. Only you could swing the propeller, but that would be quite stupid.
