Hey guys,
every time I walk out to a full scale aircraft for a flight (rotor or fixed wing) I perform a thorough preflight from a laminated checklist because theres just to much crap to remember before each flight. It has an aircraft inspection side then flip it over for the pre engine ignition & taxi checklist.
I think with the growing complexity & danger of turbine powered aircraft theres a market for someone to produce a preflight card.
Maybe with red pins that slide & turn green. Start with all red & if you dont get all green dont fly.
I just saw an explosion this weekend after a Hotspot went in HOT !!!..... Debri went strait into the crowd & took out a few aircraft on the ground. Sh%t happens & will never be eliminated but can be seriously reduced.
Know your limitations & respect your aircraft & hopefully we can get generations of turbine fun. I plan to make a good checklist for myself but dont have resourses or time to mass produce, & if any of you guys come up with something nice, my orders in !!!
My thoughts,
Jermaine
