PA-28R-201 SOP 31
28. ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE ON/NORMAL
Place the ALTERNATE STATIC SOURCE control valve, located below the
left side of the instrument panel, to the ON position. A small increase on
the altimeter and VSI may be noted. Return the alternate static source
control valve to the NORMAL (OFF) position.
29. IGNITION SWITCH OFF
Verify that the IGNITION SWITCH is in the OFF position to avoid
inadvertent engine starting during the preflight.
30. FUEL SELECTOR CHECK/L (Left) TANK
CHECK the FUEL SELECTOR for freedom of movement through all
positions and return to the L (Left) TANK position.
31. STATIC SYSTEM DRAIN
DRAIN the STATIC SYSTEM pitot and static lines by pushing in on the
buttons through separate drain valves located on the lower left side cabin
wall adjacent to the pilot.
32. ELECTRICAL SWITCHES OFF
Verify that all ELECTRICAL SWITCHES, including the Radio Master and
Panel Light Switches, are in the OFF position to avoid electrical surges
through equipment when the Battery Master Switch is turned ON.
33. ELT SWITCH ARMED
Ensure that the ELT SWITCH is in the ARMED position. With the switch in
the ON position, an ELT emergency signal will transmit.
34. WINDOWS CLEAN ALL
CLEAN ALL WINDOWS, including the windshield (both the interior and
exterior sides), with ERAU approved cleaning solution and towels. When
wiping the windows, use a linear motion parallel to the direction of airflow.
A clean windshield increases visibility and collision avoidance, thereby
enhancing safety. Ensure there are no cracks in the windshield. Do not
place any items on top of panel as this can scratch the windshield.
35. CABIN CHECKLIST COMPLETE
Upon completion of the CABIN CHECKLIST, verify that all items have been
accomplished and that the checklist is COMPLETE.
