32 PA-28R-201 SOP RIGHT WING CHECKLIST Start the exterior inspection at the right rear wing and proceed in a counter-clockwise direction. Emphasis and attention should be placed on all surface conditions including flight control surfaces and access panel security. Check surface areas around the aircraft for fluid leakage and foreign object damage (FOD). A flashlight is required for all preflight inspections conducted at night. 1. FLAP/AILERON ...................................................................... INSPECT 2. STATIC WICKS (3)................................................................. INSPECT 3.

FLAP/AILERON INSPECT INSPECT the FLAP and AILERON, checking for freedom of movement and/or security of the hinges and actuators. 2. STATIC WICKS (3) INSPECT INSPECT the condition and security of the STATIC WICKS (3): one (1) on the flap and two (2) on the aileron. 3. WING TIP/LIGHTS INSPECT INSPECT the WING TIP for dents and cracks. If a crack exists, verify that is has been stop drilled to prevent further cracking. INSPECT the condition of the strobe and position LIGHTS. 4. LEADING EDGE INSPECT INSPECT the LEADING EDGE of the wing for dents and cracks. 5. FUEL QUANTITY VERIFY (CHECK) VERIFY that the FUEL QUANTITY has been checked at least once since the last refueling. If the aircraft has been refueled since originally sampling the fuel, CHECK the fuel again for proper grade and for any debris. Revised 07-01-2012 © Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Rev 06

PA-28R-201 SOP 33 6. TIE-DOWN/CHOCKS REMOVE Slowly REMOVE the TIE-DOWN to avoid any under wing damage and place the chain adjacent to, but not in, the indentation of the concrete around the chain’s ramp securing points (water accumulation in these areas will rust the chains). Place the CHOCKS over the chain’s ramp securing point to keep them away from the landing gear and propeller. 7. FUEL TANK VENT CHECK CHECK that the FUEL TANK VENT (located on underside of wing) is unobstructed. The fuel tank vent provides a venting source to accommodate changing pressure in the fuel tank to ensure proper fuel flow. It is normal to see fuel or evidence of fuel (blue staining) at the vent due fuel expansion as its temperature increases. 8. MAIN GEAR INSPECT INSPECT the MAIN GEAR and brake assembly for damage, cracks, hydraulic fluid, and brake pad wear. Check to see that the tire looks properly inflated, is free of “flat” spots from skidding, and no cord is showing. Check the main gear retraction mechanism for any obstruction(s). Check the Up Lock and Down Lock switches. Check the strut for proper strut inflation (2.50” ± .25”). Check the main gear door for security and any damage. Finally, check the external main gear components are secure with castle nuts and safety (cotter) pins. 9. RIGHT WING FUEL SUMP DRAIN (1) DRAIN Using the fuel sample cup, DRAIN a small quantity of fuel from the RIGHT WING FUEL SUMP DRAIN (located on the inboard rear corner of the underside of the right wing). Check for water, sediment, and verify that the proper grade of fuel (100LL, Blue in color) is present. Water in the sample will be indicated by a clear amount of liquid at the bottom of the sampler cup (due to the greater density of water than fuel). Dispose of contaminated fuel in the fuel receptacles located on the east side of the ERAU ramp. Remove any residual water from inside of sampler cup and continue to take fuel samples until water is no longer present in any fuel sample. NOTE DO NOT DUMP FUEL ON THE RAMP. 10. RIGHT WING CHECKLIST COMPLETE Upon completion of the RIGHT WING CHECKLIST, verify that all items have been accomplished and that the checklist is COMPLETE.

6. TIE-DOWN/CHOCKS REMOVE<br />

Slowly REMOVE the TIE-DOWN to avoid any under wing damage and<br />

place the chain adjacent to, but not in, the indentation of the concrete<br />

around the chain’s ramp securing points (water accumulation in these<br />

areas will rust the chains). Place the CHOCKS over the chain’s ramp<br />

securing point to keep them away from the landing gear and propeller.<br />

7. FUEL TANK VENT CHECK<br />

CHECK that the FUEL TANK VENT (located on underside of wing) is<br />

unobstructed. The fuel tank vent provides a venting source to<br />

accommodate changing pressure in the fuel tank to ensure proper fuel flow.<br />

It is normal to see fuel or evidence of fuel (blue staining) at the vent due<br />

fuel expansion as its temperature increases.<br />

8. MAIN GEAR INSPECT<br />

INSPECT the MAIN GEAR and brake assembly for damage, cracks,<br />

hydraulic fluid, and brake pad wear. Check to see that the tire looks<br />

properly inflated, is free of “flat” spots from skidding, and no cord is<br />

showing. Check the main gear retraction mechanism for any<br />

obstruction(s). Check the Up Lock and Down Lock switches. Check the<br />

strut for proper strut inflation (2.50” ± .25”). Check the main gear door for<br />

security and any damage. Finally, check the external main gear<br />

components are secure with castle nuts and safety (cotter) pins.<br />

9. RIGHT WING FUEL SUMP DRAIN (1) DRAIN<br />

Using the fuel sample cup, DRAIN a small quantity of fuel from the RIGHT<br />

WING FUEL SUMP DRAIN (located on the inboard rear corner of the<br />

underside of the right wing). Check for water, sediment, and verify that the<br />

proper grade of fuel (100LL, Blue in color) is present. Water in the sample<br />

will be indicated by a clear amount of liquid at the bottom of the sampler<br />

cup (due to the greater density of water than fuel). Dispose of<br />

contaminated fuel in the fuel receptacles located on the east side of the<br />

<strong>ERAU</strong> ramp. Remove any residual water from inside of sampler cup and<br />

continue to take fuel samples until water is no longer present in any fuel<br />

sample.<br />

NOTE<br />

DO NOT DUMP FUEL ON THE RAMP.<br />

10. RIGHT WING CHECKLIST COMPLETE<br />

Upon completion of the RIGHT WING CHECKLIST, verify that all items<br />

have been accomplished and that the <strong>checklist</strong> is COMPLETE.<br />
