HSL 41 Preflight
Preflight “Gouge”
• This is a guide to assist you in you preflight
and identification of components.
• This is not a substitute of NATOPS.
OBJECTIVES
• Preflight Requirements
• What to look for
• CAUTIONS, WARNINGS, & NOTES
BEFORE YOU START...
• Thoroughly check the ADB
(Aircraft Discrepancy Book)
• Are the Daily and
Turnaround Inspections
properly completed and up
to date?
• Fuel Samples?
Oil Consumption?
• Are there any gripes that
catch your eye?
NATOPS CHAPTER 7
• 7.2 PREFLIGHT
– Prior to flight, the pilot in command shall
ensure that a complete visual check of the
helicopter has been conducted.
– The aircrew preflight inspection may be divided
among pilot, ATO, and Sensor Operator.
PREFLIGHT YOUR
EQUIPMENT
• Flight Suit (dog tags?)
– Make sure you are FOD free
• Helmet
– Lip light? Clean Visors?
• Gloves
– No holes
• Flashlight
NATOPS CHECKLIST
• Use NATOPS checklist items as a minimum.
– Preflight with other HACs and ask questions!
– Talk to other pilots, aircrew, and maintainers for
what they look for.
• Perform a daily and turnaround to see what our
maintainers are looking for.
• Inspect with extra concern areas that have
recently been worked on or that have
outstanding or recurring gripes in the ADB.
GETTING STARTED
• Initial walk around
– Look at the aircraft for anything that looks out of
place.
– “Man, that just ain’t right!”
• Are tie downs, plugs, and covers still installed?
• Leakage
– Is there any noticeable oil or fuel on the ground?
– Is fluid running down the side, underside, or tail?
WHEN IN DOUBT
• If something doesn’t look right, ask!
• To call a troubleshooter use (DEMOT): Make a “T”
signal with both hands followed by a number.
T-1 = AD, T-2 = AE, T-3 = AM, T-4 = AO, T-5 = AT
AD

DOWNING AN AIRCRAFT
• If you don’t feel it is safe, don’t fly it!
• Maintenance Control can tell you if a gripe
is up or down by checking the MIM’s
(Maintenance Instruction Manuals).
• QA is always there to help.
– Make sure the question is answered to your
satisfaction!
