EXTERIOR INSPECTION
The PIC shall assure that an exterior inspection is performed prior to

engine start. He may delegate this inspection to any competent
crewmember.
This inspection is required due to the flight crew’s obligation to assess
the airworthiness of the airplane before each flight. Within the limits of
flight crew capabilities (i.e. no tools) and established training. It must
include a check for obvious wear, damage and leakage (e.g. hydraulic,
fuel, oil, water).
A further aspect of this inspection is to provide a GENERAL
OVERLOOK of the condition and position of the airplane before it is
moved and may cover further technical/operational aspects such as:
FOD danger at parking position,
Obstructions within initial taxi area,
Possible CLOUD WX restrictions,
Progress of fueling, loading.
At stations where no maintenance personnel are available, one of the pilot
shall perform the following items in addition to his normal duties prior to
engines start.
Hydraulic Systems………………………………PRESSURIZE (*)
Caution: Before operating any hydraulic system, obtain hydraulic

clearance.
Position System A and B electric pump switches ON. Observe the

hydraulic pressure indications for normal reading (2900 psi minimum)
on System A and B.
Parking Brake………………………………………….SET
