Filler cap retaining chain securely attached at both ends. Check for fuel / oil leaks, frayed / broken wires, chafed lines, cracked exhaust stacks and broken or loose heater ducts Check fuel filter drain valve safety wired in closed position. Check red plunger flush with top of fuel filter assembly. Prop governor cable not chafing on fuel filter bracket. Check alternate air door closed and linkage secure. Check left augmentor tube for obstructions. Close cowling and secure latches. NOSE GEAR Centering mechanism, bracket, retract arm for looseness. Check nose gear centering roller is free to rotate. Uplock mechanism for distortion and security. Shimmy damper for evidence of leakage and damage. Shock strut for scoring and pitting, piston for leakage and approximately 5 inches of strut extension. Mud scraper for security and obvious damage. Grounding wire for security and touching the deck. Nose tire for condition and proper inflation. PROPELLER & NOSE SECTION Cowl plugs removed. Propeller for cracks, nicks, pits, and evidence of oil leakage. Inspect security of spinner retention nut. Air intake, filter, hot air overboard inlets clean, unobstructed. Ensure lock fasteners firmly secured. Check condition of taxi (passing) light. RIGHT ENGINE & BATTERY COMPARTMENTS Open right engine cowling. Check for fuel / oil leaks, frayed / broken wires, chafed lines, cracked exhaust stacks and broken or loose heater ducts. Generator capacitor securely clamped, clear of cowling arm. Check right augmentor tube for obstructions. Close cowling and secure latches. Security of external canopy release handle. Open battery compartment door. Check connector and holding bar security. Check for evidence of electrolyte leakage, warps and bulges. Check drain hoses connected to case. Close battery compartment door and secure latches. Open battery drain jar compartment. Check for evidence of electrolyte overflow and contamination. Close battery drain jar compartment door and secure latch. RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR Perform same checks as for left main landing gear. RIGHT WING Perform same checks as on left wing except for pitot tube and stall warning vane. Check stall strip for security. FUSELAGE - RIGHT SIDE Check condition of antennas and strobe light on belly. Check for wrinkled skin and popped rivets. Check static vent free of obstructions. Check VOR antenna and rotating beacon for security. EMPENNAGE All tail surfaces for cracks, corrosion, dents and tears; control surfaces for freedom of movement, looseness and excessive play between elevators. All visible control linkages and hinge fittings for cracks and security; rudder trim tab for anti-servo action. VHF antenna and retaining nut for corrosion and security. Navigation light and tail cone for security and cracks. Static discharge wicks for fraying, deterioration and proper attachment. (min length 6", 1" exposed wick). FUSELAGE - LEFT SIDE Check for wrinkled skin and popped rivets. Check static vent is free of obstructions. Check ELT secure and ARMED. Ensure tow bar, spare oil, log book and personal items are properly stowed in the baggage compartment. Ensure weight and balance are within limits. Close and lock baggage compartment door. AIRCRAFT EXTERIOR Ensure wheel chocks and tiedowns are removed and location of nearest fire bottle is noted. Ensure all frost, snow or ice is removed from all aircraft surfaces before flight.
