- Quick video of my PreFlight of the Piper Archer III. I was doing this with one hand carrying the camera so its a bit shaky but I hope you can tell what I'm doing. I did my best to explain everything as I'm going along.
If you have any questions feel free to comment and please subscribe if you havent already.
How about the pitot tube!? Also elevator linkages, tank vents, and it's a good idea to open the cowl and actually check the engine! It's pretty important, it's where most of the moving parts in the plane are. The fuel pumps and tubes, oil filter and tubes, brake fluid, fuel separator are pretty important. And just the bottom for general drips and leaks. You can also check the throttle, mixture and carb heat linkages if you can find them in the bottom on the back of the carb. I start my prefligh
Great video. Just wanted to mention a few things you may have left out. First being checking the underside of the wing for any loose rivets as you did on the top. When checking fuel, you don't seem to make sure the fuel vents are clear of any obstructions that may interfere with proper proper fuel pressure if they were to be obstructed, creating a vacuum in the tank. Also, one very important point to inspect is the actual pushrods of both ailerons beneath the wing. They are the only point that
Na, don't get someone to help you :-) Make it much more feeling like I am there with you as preflight happens.
Tried to video response my preflight but doesn't come up with my video to attach the response.
Sound on your camera is amazingly clear!
@TheChrisMuncy haha yeah and no fancy horn that plays La Cucaracha or the Dukes of Hazard Dixie sound. Thanks for checking it out
@bradc314 The flight school TransPac which is next to Cutter where this is tied down has probably 50 of these. This may be a little newer than some but the PA28-181 Cherokee is a typical trainer if you don't want to learn in a Cessna. I am lucky though to be in a more modern plane with newer avionics.
Thanks for checking it out. I post a video for about every training flight I have been on.
@92NZPilot Yeah all of my training was in the PA28-181 Archer III. I have some stick time in a Cessna 140 also
This is such a great Aircraft. I have around 40 hours on a Piper Archer III, yeah I'm a newbie. Nice vid man
@BeechSundowner Thanks the camera is just a cheap Aiptek 720P camera. I bought it used off ebay many years back. I will go through your videos and find it. :-)
@LIPOPILOT thanks man. I really need to redo this at some point and have someone hold the camera I think
@cholubaz ohhk, for all of our checks (normal and emergency procedures), we are trained by remembering them all off by heart. With the fuel, once out of the tank, it's classed as contaminant and should never be place back in the tank. I should make a vid of New Zealand style of per-flighting haha
@nickjpass good luck man. I have wanted this for a long time now too. I am 40 now. Dont give up. :-)
No problem. Hope you like them. Please subscribe. I try and fly and put up one or two videos a month
Im gone get checked out on this one in a week. Been flying on Diamond DA40 until now :)
- if you don't see it, but especially from the engine drain, I really wouldn't put it back in the tanks. That thing is designed specifically to remove water from the fuel going into the engine! So you don't wanna be putting that back in the tanks.
good video
I didn't see you check the most important item of all - the pitot tube. Blocked pitot tubes have led to some spectacular accidents.
Oh Ok sorry then:-)I`ll check`em out.Thanx
Yeah I like it too. Have been checked out in 172's now and I still prefer the Archer III
Yeah, should do a newer one and maybe even of the cessna if you're still flying them?
@cholubaz nice, so how long have you been flying for??
Nice pre flight, especially for using one hand
@bradc314 lol yeah Leather, Dual Garmin GNS430's and Air Conditioning haha
Thanks. I would like to fly a DA40. I haven't flow anything with a stick yet. Yeah you dont want to skimp on the preflight only to find out you missed something after your in the air thats for sure.
@92NZPilot I know the outside walk around by heart but I have to use the checklist for the inside. As far and pouring the fuel I drain back in the tanks. That's the way I was shown by my CFI
@cholubaz Thank you, I've done the same. Mostly PA-38 but also done few hours in a PA-28-181. Yourself??
@92NZPilot I passed my checkride on Sep 25th of 2011 so not very long at all
@Blazingspitfire yep its a beacon thanks
Thanks. I know I missed a few things. This was very early in my training. I should do a more proper one some day with someone filming me.
1. Do you need to use your checklist or do you know it all off by heart?? 2. Are you sure your meant to be putting drain fuel back into the tanks?? CAANZ would go crazy if they ever saw us doing that, I quote "If the check is negative from each drain point, empty the container into the receptacle provided. DO NOT TIP THE CONTENTS BACK INTO THE AIRCRAFT TANKS." Just wondering ae
@92NZPilot I have seen a lot of other people throw it out I just wasn't told to do that. I subscribed to you. What are you flying?
Thanks for watching and for the comment. The last thing you mentioned about the aileron push rods I do do that. Not sure if I missed it in the video but that is a normal thing for me.
That was when I was training for my PPL I have had my license now sine Sep 2010 I will start on my Instrument this year
Bro, It's not my plane, I don't control where they have it tied down at and on top of that this is very common here in AZ at least. I have taken this airplane to dozens of airports all over the state and have only came across one that had ropes.
very nice video
at the moment i fly the archer in the simulator
but I hope I can fly the archer one day in real life ;-)
Excellent! I hope you do to. It is a great little plane.
Why didn't you check the circuit breakers, pitot heat and carb heat?
Dude I only did the exterior of the plane in that video. Once in the plane there is a whole checklist of things to go through of course. By the way Pitot heat is not on any check list. Carb heat yes but thats done during a run up.
I acknowledge that I don't know as much as you do. I have 13 hours of flight time. Sorry if I offended you. I saw you turn on the master switch before you inspected the stall alarm and the external lights. My POH says check the circuit breakers BEFORE and AFTER you turn on the master switch, and you have to turn on the master switch BEFORE you check the stall warning horn. and you checked the stall alarm.... Did I get that wrong?
Joseph Jones Nope you didnt offend me but I just thought based on what I was showing it only had to do with the exterior. I havent flown the Archer in about a year but I dont remember my check list showing to check the breakers except once before I started the engine. Next time I take it out I will look again. For the last year or so I have been flying a 172 because it was much cheaper. Hope you training goes well. :-)
Yeah thats TransPac and they teach the Chinese student pilots.
you sure that's a "strobe" on the tail? Where is your "beacon" then?
My dream to get my PPL..I'm trying so hard to get a job, I'm 15. And am selling my PS3, and will do anything to get money.
lol are you serious? I have about 50 videos on real flights with ATC and Comms not just engine noise where you cant here whats going on inside the cockpit
TO be honest pre flight is boring,how about flight and cockpit videos.
