How do you check tyre pressure?
That's only acceptable in the Southern Hemisphere. Beware if you go on a trip into the Northern hemisphere.
I believe in the Northern Hemisphere you need to use your Left Boot don't you?
And you're probably right LB, the socks are exceptionally important, if they begin to slip and the shoes move there could be all kinds of Fowling that occurs!
And Band A Lot is correct, but I happen to have an Exemption from CASA, they've observed my Right Footed RM Boot Tyre Pressure Check Technique and confirmed that in combination with my current Mk 1 Eyeball and so long as I use to same Kathmandu Merino Wool Socks each time this method is appropriate. There's a large list of rules such as making sure the Chickens I keep on hand don't get in the way and Fowl things up and it took me many many hours of Tyre Kicking to show them how accurate my Technique is but in the end they have accepted it. This is a great showing of common sense from CASA and we should be so glad that with all the current changes to their Culture that such things are now occurring. Praise be to CASA!

Well (of course) a system approved by CASA is objectively safe. The opinions of CASA staff are objective truths.
I'll have to seek some guidance from CASA on the left boot/right boot Northern Hemisphere/Southern Hemisphere question, though, because I'm now confused but keen (as ever) to remain 'safe'.

As per the Flight Manual Lead, but it will not be called that- Owners Manual most likely or a POH.
Enough black marks you will be terminated over easy to prove stuff - as history shows.

Currently and honestly there are folk at CASA that want the Daily Inspection Certification to include all Current Data (chapter/sub chapter or page #'s inc manual & revision # of engines/airframes/instruments/radio's) they also want all tooling used to be recorded on the MR including calibration dates if required for each Daily!
I am not joking on this, it is fact!

Folks,
Simple answer, really, use approved and calibrated instruments (have the calibration certificate available) and in accordance with airframe manufactures CASA approved data.
And, don't forget, when you replace the approved valve cap, ensure that IT IS TORQUED TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS WITH A TORQUE WRENCH WITH A CURRENT CASA APPROVED TORQUE CALIBRATION CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY A CASA APPROVED TORQUE CALIBRATION SERVICE.
I kid you not, a mate of mine was "done over" for the most serious crime of not doing the above.
It's AIR SAFETY, after all, and we can all read S3A and S9A of the Act, no matter is too too "trivial" for the bloodhounds of the Airstapo, in protecting the innocent public from the ravages of pilots and LAMEs of a criminal bent.
Tootle pip!!
Yes, such services exist, and the typical figure is 10 inch/pounds. For you decimal kiddies this will be a real challenge.
And do not neglect the relevant entries in the MR. as mentioned in the last post.
A daily will only take an hour or so on a C-172, five minutes to do the inspection, and 55 minutes the complete the certification.

If it is fact, there can be no impediment to naming names.
Otherwise, I call bull**** Band a Lot.

Sadly, I can believe it, the outputs of some recent AWI recruit/refresher training is quite strange --- remember the "how to wash a windscreen" nonsense a few years ago, centered in the Queensland regions --- and there seem to be a number of new "managers" with what seems to me be very limited relevant experience.
There are a couple of recent CASA actions that I would love to put up here, but I fear CASA retaliation against the individuals concerned.
Tootle pip!!
Griffo, in that situation you're required to choose your dominant side and move one metre over to the appropriate side of the equator before performing said ritual 
If it is true that CASA people are doing this, they are doing so in their capacity as public officials. Their names can be published.
It is important that as many people in industry as practicable are informed of the names of the arseclowns who are at large and wreaking havoc.
Until names are named, I call bull****.
