Preflight Checks for piston engines
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can give me some good preflight checks for GA piston engine aircraft. I'm flying a C172 RG Cutlass II currently, and I've been taught some basic checks by my flying school, i.e check that this hose is secure, that belt etc. Just wondering if there are any other good ones that are not generally taught. A mate of mine suggested, making sure the mags are off and giving the prop a pull through to check each cylinders compression. Any others come to mind?
Cheers J
