Multiple preflights in a day
Asked by: DeltaMike76 3824 views General Aviation, Private Pilot
If I'm making a trip with stops at, say, two different nearby airports to pick up passengers at each before heading to a third airport, what would you recommend as far as the thoroughness of a preflight after each stop if I shut the engine down to meet the passengers in the terminals? I already saw another post indicating that the engine run-up portion should always be done on each leg, but I'm curious about the rest of the preflight - lights, stall horn, tires, fuel sumps, oil, etc. I tend to be overly cautious, but don't necessarily want to waste time, either.
