28. ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE ON/NORMAL<br />
Place the ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE control valve, located below the<br />
left side of the instrument panel, to the ON position. A small increase on<br />
the altimeter and VSI may be noted. Return the alternate static source<br />
control valve to the NORMAL (OFF) position.<br />
29. IGNITION SWITCH OFF<br />
Verify that the IGNITION SWITCH is in the OFF position to avoid<br />
inadvertent engine starting during the preflight.<br />

CHECK the FUEL SELECTOR for freedom of movement through all<br />
positions and return to the L (Left) TANK position.<br />

DRAIN the STATIC SYSTEM pitot and static lines by pushing in on the<br />
buttons through separate drain valves located on the lower left side cabin<br />
wall adjacent to the pilot.<br />
32. ELECTRICAL SWITCHES OFF<br />
Verify that all ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, including the Radio Master and<br />
Panel Light Switches, are in the OFF position to avoid electrical surges<br />
through equipment when the Battery Master Switch is turned ON.<br />
33. ELT SWITCH ARMED<br />
Ensure that the ELT SWITCH is in the ARMED position. With the switch in<br />
the ON position, an ELT emergency signal will transmit.<br />
34. WINDOWS CLEAN ALL<br />
CLEAN ALL WINDOWS, including the windshield (both the interior and<br />
exterior sides), with <strong>ERAU</strong> approved cleaning solution and towels. When<br />
wiping the windows, use a linear motion parallel to the direction of airflow.<br />
A clean windshield increases visibility and collision avoidance, thereby<br />
enhancing safety. Ensure there are no cracks in the windshield. Do not<br />
place any items on top of panel as this can scratch the windshield.<br />
35. CABIN CHECKLIST COMPLETE<br />
Upon completion of the CABIN CHECKLIST, verify that all items have been<br />
accomplished and that the <strong>checklist</strong> is COMPLETE.<br />
