Gear pins and covers.
Sorry but in my world that means gear pins..... And covers. Static and pitot. Which are stored in the avionics bay so a visual check of removal is required, thus requiring a check by cm1 on the first flight of day.
Incidentally the new sop has this check done by cm2. So on the first flight of the day captains need to do a walk around, but the cm2 is required to check these are removed befor flight.
And just as an extra, the captain cannot do a walkaround until refuelling complete and bowser has unplugged. If you need clarification read the fcom.
I am not management, but i can read.
The new sop requires a cm2 check outside on first flight, and a captain walkaround after refuelling.
Oh and just to clarify, the before start checklist. It is a confirmation by cm1 of gear pins and covers.. That is COVERS gents, not sleeves, not pins. Its covers. Static and pitot...removed.
Captains.. It is always your responsibility. Always
Read and inwardly digest my old instructors used to say.
