The General Aviation Joint Safety Committee (GAJSC) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have determined that a significant number of general aviation fatalities could be avoided if pilots were to conduct more thorough preflight inspections of aircraft that have just been returned to service. In-flight emergencies have been the direct result of maintenance personnel who have serviced or installed systems incorrectly. Emphasis Points: * Learn all you can about the maintenance that was performed. * Don t assume the part(s) replaced are the only parts removed. * Pay attention to trim positions. Check for unimpeded flight control surface deflections. Make sure they go in the proper direction! * Make sure all inspection panels are secure and their fasteners are tight. * Check fuel tank for water, sediment, and proper fuel grade. * After an oil change, always check the engine oil level to ensure it has the proper amount of oil. * Always check your logbook and paperwork prior to flight to ensure the correct records have been entered. * If you see a warning tag / sign on the aircraft, or on the sign-out or status board, DO NOT FLY THE AIRCRAFT! Check with the maintenance facility prior to taking the aircraft. * Participate in, or observe your mechanic perform, an annual or 100 hour inspection.
