What is a outside-check ?
I´m sure you might have experienced this once you were waiting at the gate prior to boarding, the pilot walking around the aircraft and closely looking at the exterior of his aircraft. What is he/she doing ? That is what I´d like to explain in today´s video !
Every pilot has to check if his aircraft, helicopter, gilder, little sports plane or a big commercial jet, hasn´t encountered any damage or leakage from prior flights. Aviators call this regular procedure the outside check or exterior walkaround !
Let´s take the Airbus A320 as an example. After completing our first checks within the cockpit, the last item on the "preliminary cockpit preparation checklist” reads, “EXTERIOR WALKAROUND -- PERFORM !
You have a similar checklist in your car manual, in which you should check your tire pressure, oil quantity etc. prior to a long car journey. So the aircraft manual lists the items which should be inspected whilst doing your outside check.
For example:
• Condition of Pitot Probes ( free and clean )
• Clean Static Ports ( Parts to measure altitude and speed )
• Damages on aircraft nose section
• Chocks in place ( so the aircraft can move )
• Nose wheel structure, tyre abrasion
• Depth of nose wheel damper
• Condition of taxi and runway turn of lights
• Condition of exterior antennas
• Condition of landing lights
• Any leakage of wing tanks
• Strobe and navigation lights on the outer part of wing
• Condition of slats and flaps
• In and outlet of turbine
• Fan blades of turbine
• Tyre abrasion on main landing gear
• Brake wear on main landing gear
• Depth of main landing gear damper
• Possible damages on horizontal stabilizer
• Horizontal stabilizer in neutral position
• In and outlet of auxiliary power unit ( APU )
• Any dents and scratches of wings and fuselage
• Any leaking fluids
• secure closing of doors and hatches
These are only a few important ones listed in the exterior walk around “checklist”.
To approve that you have completed the outside check you need to write down time and your signature into the “Technical Flight Log”, similar to your service check book in your car. Important ! This not a “once a day check”, NO, the outside check has to be performed prior every flight !
The same rule applies for little sports planes, private jets and helicopters, although these aircrafts fly on a less regular basis, so their vulnerable instruments, engine in and outlets are covered with a red protective cover, marked with big letters “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT”. And safety bolts, which protect the rudders from flapping about in the wind, are also tagged with this warning sign.
More information about the “REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT” in another blog.
It´s required by law, that a commercial jet has to have functional flashlights and reflective vests to properly perform the outside check during night operation.
In the event that something is malfunctioning or broken, we´ll request a certified technician for help. If he can repair the broken part, he´ll state his repairs in the "technical flight log” and approves that the aircraft is airworthy. Otherwise if new parts or a bigger inspection and repair is needed, he will “write it off” and the aircraft is then AOG = Aircraft on ground !
Safety first always goes first !
So the next time you´re waiting at the gate, look out for your pilot performing his outside check !
Next time we´ll talk about the REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT warning pins and tags.
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this basic introduction video about an A320 outside check!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

Years ago I had a flight instructor who once told me that I took too long doing my pre-flight inspection. I had taken 20 minutes and I was quite thorough. My response to the instructor was "Show me the reg or shut the hell up". He and I never really got along, but never tell me how long I can spend doing preflight. It's my butt and my airplane up there. Do it right - don't rush your pre-flight.
bcgrittner that’s cool that you maintain your vigilance on performing your job and not allowing senior crew to intimidate you. I’ve seen airplane disasters episodes where the copilot didn’t have the nuts to tell the captain that they were fixing to die!
Because you're a real pilot and not a poser. Aviation is a "SAFE ALWAYS" environment.
@@SilencedMi5 You need to SHOUT that a LOT louder. Boeing, Airbus and other aircraft manufacturers are not hearing you. I just can't believe how badly their systems are designed. Even this walk-around is shite. The level of expected inspection is beyond what is physically possible - often, you are too far away to inspect something properly - such as the leading edge of every fan blade on the engine - inspect for chips that could lead to cracks and fan failure. Working in a very noisy atmosphere is not right for inspection purposes - a fingernail flick of each of those fan blades to make it ring could indicate early hidden cracks that can lead to failures later.
That's great if you have the time to do so- however in 121 (commercial passenger) aviation you're under time pressure to get off the gate on time. While you shouldn't rush- you should get your process as efficient as possible. If you make a habit of making the flight late you won't keep your job for long. Also note that every crew is looking at the aircraft before and after each flight and maintenance has to look at the jet every 2 days at a minimum, so there's lots of redundancy if one person misses something.
Joe: "Make sure you don't spot any holes or cracks".
Me: Okay, I just won't look then.
Of particular note to crews of Soviet era equipment.
Me on that plane: Oh @$!? we gonna crash
I'll look
I hope you’re not my pilot 👨✈️
Nah... nothing that Gaffa tape cant fix.
“I want to see the look on your face when you have to pay a $300 fine.” Lol
If the wright brothers were watching this they'd be like: "we just make sure our dad is okay with it and we go"
Who isn’t a pilot but still watching this
Most people
Me
I am. This is cool I'm studying for my 107 certification. One of the parts talks about maintenance, even if its a small drone, you should follow a checklist and perform maintenance. Its the RPIC (remote pilot in charge) responsibility to do so. Great video
Karim Mifflin that’s cool
Karim Mifflin you could sub scribe
you made me have real respect to the aviation pilots
This reminds me of my on-the-job training in AirAsia(The color is almost the same with AirBerlin) on that same aircraft the Airbus A320. By watching this video, it feels like I just did a real walk around. Awesome Video!
WHAT A BEAST OF A PLANE UP CLOSE....... EVEN IF IT'S CONSIDERED A SMALL AIRPLANE
It’s beautiful isn’t it
Very comprehensive video, I quite enjoyed it Joe! Great job!
Another winner Capt Joe! Amazing how similar that is to the check-A on the PA28 I fly! OK, there's a bit more to it granted but the principles are much the same! Fly safe....
It's my greatest desire to be a pilot
Same here...lets fly together one day
@@inhazfahim8270 same lets crash together?
@@joedagamer7782 always ready😂😂
@@inhazfahim8270 hahahahaha
@@inhazfahim8270 Where we crashin? Lol
I remember watching this 3 years ago when it first came out and thought “how cool it must be to get to be up close and personal with these planes every day.” Now I work in maintenance and frequently do the pre-flight checks before we release the planes for flight. Every time I walk one of these I realize how cool it is to get to work with these amazing machines 🛩
As the guy that does the last outside check before pushback, this video has more information on what to check than any training I ever got.
I will use this video to improve my outside check thanks!
6:05 I love how he just spins a friggin jet engine like it's a toy windmill
He actually does not spin the entire engine. The fan (part he touches) is connected only to a few similar, but smaller sets of blades (low pressure compressor and low pressure turbine). Because you need very high rotational speeds for significant compression to occur it is (as you can see) quite easy to turn slowly.

Hey joe!!!!!! I am starting civil on Tuesday and I'm so flippin' excited!!! You have inspired me so much to follow my dream, and for that I say thank you.
This is the best video you have ever shared so far althouhg others were great
I read somewhere about someone who decided to leave one tank with fuel and the others empty. They decided to go for a fly the next day and did their pre-flight inspection but didn't want to check the one tank for water. They checked it anyway. What they found was that same tank had accumulated fourteen cups of water because the cap hadn't been on properly and it had rained overnight. That person wrote: The fuel would have cut out just after take-off and I would've crashed into the trees behind the runway.
Thank you so much for the videos Captain Joe! I hope to meet you one day. Also, the high visibility vests look cool!
sounds like they saved themselves from death. the vests are just for a safety precaution to ensure that ground personnel don't get run over by any cart, car, or anything else on the tarmac. Alpha the procedure at all commercial terminals is that the flight crew calculates the reserve fuel on hand at the moment, anticipated fuel needs for said flight, and mandatory reserve add ons and then signal for a fueling to ensure compliance with aviation safety standards. Joe has a nice video on that process.
This made me feel even more comfortable to fly knowing how thorough planes are checked and how fast problems are taken care of, thanks Joe!
You mean Thorough
Dirk van den Berg yeah, my younger self was very stupid
Just wow, what a detailed video this already was. Usually in some airplane documentaries the pilot just says "yeeeah just looking around for leakages and worn off tires...". This for the first time gave me a real insight into what the outside check is. Thank you soo much!
Thank you so very much, Capt. Joe, for this up-close look at an A320! Easily one of my favourite videos on one of my favourite channels!
People like Mentour Pilot, Dutch PilotGirl and you are awesome for being so generous with your time and making all this effort; some of us aviation enthusiasts who will never ever get anywhere close to flying an aircraft live vicariously through you guys, thanks to your willingness to share.
Thanks again!
Cheers, and best wishes!
On the MD-11, the most overlooked item in a walk-around is the #2 engine.
Captain Joe i love your presentations very much. I know i will never be a pilot... you are such a good teacher. Many greetings from Namibia Windhoek.
Hello! I really enjoy listening to you Captain Joe. Your are a natural teacher!! Thank you. Brian
I LOVE this sort of technical video, thank you! I agree with others that BREAKS could use more attention.
Fabulous video! Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Srsly? RyanAir? Ok
Surprised that the engine cowling locks werent more specifically singled out! On the BA incident everyone missed them: Crew, ground crew, tug driver, film crew making a safety video!!!!!
Captain Joe!!! You have provided tremendous help with your videos, appreciate it a lot!
As an RC pilot, and a FAA 107 certified UAS pilot, these walk around are essential (I have a checklist - make sure your sd Card is in). Thank you very much for your videos, And the tip of the hat to the RC community. Wish you much luck and success. A long time subscriber.
Hi Joe, you shared your morning routine before you left for work, it would be really cool if you could show us your routine from walking into the airport to filing your Flight Plan just before pushback.
I for one would like to know all about when you have to sign on, how you find your aircraft, your process of getting prepared etc and how long before your flight you arrive at the airport
There's really nothing special about that, you pass the security checks,you go to the crew room and ask the lovely lady the documentation for your flight and she gives you a bunch of paper. You sign some,check the weather,check the notams,check the flight plan and ask again the lady where your airplane is. If it's close you just walk there like any other passenger,otherwise you get a minivan.
This kind of preflight check is only to ensure that the pilot can properly program the route of the flight into the computers and hopefully avoid situations like KAL 007.
Excellent Video
Big fan sir
Hi flyjv
Big fan
Big fan sir
I love the way you explain...just awesome.
Great Video, Joe! Thanks for taking us with you on your walk-around :)
Hey Joe, I'm a student pilot with 38 hours. I've been taught what the static source is for, but can you do a detailed video as to how exactly it works in conjunction with your altimeter and VSI?
Keep up the great work, and I love your motivational/daily regimen videos!
Thanks for the video Joe. I Think static ports and avionic equipment inlet valve are two parts that might worth additional explanations :)
Yes I agree!
Great video. I learnt a lot about my own job too. As I build the wings for the airbus a320 and was confused with some of the components in the gear bay. But after looking in there from you video. All the components made sense. Thank you joe
Outstanding keep up the good work ...I enjoyed that presentation .. very professional. And disciplined..my kind of captain.
You are such an inspiration to most aspiring pilots please keep up the fantastic work. Last weeks video was also a great eye opener. Making a video on the outside check can you please make one on the cold and dark start up for a320 or b747 that would be amazing.
great idea!!!
love you captin joe your the best youtuber
Joe thanks for doing these streams for me or us, you explain in such detail and your easy to understand, i would just like to thank you for taking the time out to do it, safe flying fella, regards michael:)
Excellent! Very through and complete. Sincere congratulations, you never stop to amaze me with your well done videos. Clear skies and good tailwind to you, Captain Joe, you must be an outstanding pilot, and company should be proud of having you on their payrole. Best luck.
Grea5 video Joe I didn’t realise how many small doors there are on an A320 could you please explain what all these hatches provide access to
Such an inspiration ❤️❤️
I’m not a pilot but always enjoy learning something new on this channel. We love you Captain Joe🥳
Another great video! Very informative as always!
Pilot: **Uses umbrella**
Me if I was a pilot: **Wear's hat**
Pilot: **He's smart. Very Smart**
No hats allowed near aircraft.
I would like to see more about brakes in general actually. If you have time for that
I agree! I'd like to know how a brake check after an aborted landing looks like
Yes! Parts, looks, specifications, aborted take-off procedures, etc.
marvin basically after incidents like "overweight landings" and reported situations the brakes are immediately and comprehensively checked to ensure safety. Things can be cured within minutes and hours most of the time but its better to do that than risk safety related crashes.
Check externo... Muito bem explicado como sempre! Show!!
Hi Capt Joe, i was just travelling on an A320 today, i loved it!!! I love flying and your channel is satisfying my curiosity! Thanks for this caress-the-plane video!
Have you ever grounded an airplane in your walkaround? What were the consequences when you did?
I love your cat!
opl500 I have. It's our job if something is wrong to have it corrected before flight. That's what happens: maintenance comes out, assesses the situation and fixes it prior to departure.
Management doesn't pressure you to look the other way if you do find stuff?
opl500 In my 29 years with my airline, no, not once.
opl500
I’d like to think that a pilot could ground a plane without fear of consequences since his and everyone else’s lives depends on the plane he is about to take off in.
Captain Joe, I am a ground crew team leader in LTN (London Luton). I constantly do the "walkaround" check of Easyjet a320 and 319's. I often notice that on the fuel filler cap, there is a small chain that hangs down outside of the cap. The chain is just to connect the cap to the main wing when the fueller is working; but is it a problem if the chain is accidentally hanging outside the cap after he closes it? Should I tell the pilot about it when I talk to him on the headset?
I have told them in the past and it's a 50/50 split as to whether they're okay to fly with the chain hanging out or not. What are your thoughts?
I am a mechanic in Hong Kong who handling Cathey Dragon's A320/1 most of the time. That small chain need to be checked in every weekly check, most of the time that chain is just disconnect from a ring like keychain, the condition of the small chain is totally fine. I rarely see that chain hangs down when I perform W. A. C. for short transit flight
Not doing the second AMS tomorrow morning are you? See you then!
I never hear anyone called X43oPEGASUSo working in Luton airport
Great, now youtube is a source of technical data. Keep asking on youtube and forget about company and manufacture documentation and procedures.
@@pirexengaer Haha, chill out
Amazing . . . I am fascinated with aircraft and learning so much from your videos!
Thanks Captain Joe.
Very good video, can serve to educate ground staff on pre-flight external walkaround checks.
I'm always looking to improve on doing my job well, so will be checking out more of your videos.
Hi Joe excellent video I think you should make a video about your steps to becoming a pilot... Best of luck
yeah, agree, that topic would be interesting :)
Could you elaborate on the brakes. I wasn’t really sure of what you were pointing at. By the way great video, loved it. I’m one of those rampers that does the walk around after the pilot and I never knew what I was looking for because my company never really showed me what to look for. I mainly looked for any damage. Thank you, very informative.
Christopher Schuster Yeah, my company don’t really teach us what to look for. During training they tell us if the plane aren’t missing anything or have any holes or have any dents or scratches it is good to fly. We don’t do as such a walk through a pilot goes through.
Captain Joe, what a magnific video!!! A brazilian fan!
Thanks captain for help me to describe better a walk around in my English test it was useful!
I would like to have further video about the antennas. Whosoever likes it vote me by saying "yes"!✌

I never flew with air berlin, but from that what I heard It seemed to be a good airline.
@@resistair6356 it was until they went bankrupt and were disolved
This reminds me of the Pre-Inspection I had to do for my CDL A. I have to do the same thing except it's a tractor and tractor-trailer. So much to look over and point out, especially during the DMV behind-the-wheel exam.
i dont know why we would ever need to know this but it was an amazing and informative video! Thanks joe!
Oh you can spin an engine blades with hands... Awesome!!!
I always thought they would have been too heavy.
The fan (part he touches) is connected only to a few similar, but smaller sets of blades (low pressure compressor and low pressure turbine). Because you need very high rotational speeds for significant compression to occur it is (as you can see) quite easy to turn slowly.

@@sarahk236 It is quite heavy, approximatly one tonne (the part he is spinning), but most of it is very close to the axis of rotation, so the moment of inertia is small and the fan blades are a nice long lever. And obviously the bearings are very good. I really want to see how difficult one of those is to spin, now!
Due to the bearings, there is very little friction - so easy to turn. Very often you'll see an engine slowly rotating - and that's just a bit of breeze going through it doing that !
Hello Sir My Name Is Vineet i am from india your videos are so nice and very understandable can you plss make a video on All Cockpit Controls Explained....
That would be nice. Make a video Capt joe on how does the engine of a320 works and the basic parts of it.
Joe is just so happy when making these videos and it is great to see. I wish to be a pilot after I do join the military.
The way you explain is very pleasant and it does not get tedious, I'm your fan! Go a head ➡
You are a Great Pilot 👍😊 i Love your Content✈️
Its a tradition like sailing. Ultimately the captain of record at the moment is responsible for anything that happens to a ship, crew, cargo, or otherwise. It is just part of being a good flight crew member to have an examination like this done as per standard before signing for a flight since they can ask for services before they are responsible for the plane.
Hi Joe, Thank you for educating lay man like me to understand what's going on during outside check. I would be so thankful if you get a chance to explain more on Avionics inlet Valve and Avionics equipment ventilation air outlet valve which you are taking about that. Thanks once again.
Just love your videos !! Joe you are my ideal!!
Thanks Captain Joe!!!!! I like your videos a lot. Thanks for making such good videos and explain to us in details!!
Do one on the 747 pls :DD
>If you forget this, the nose gear won't retract upon takeoff
what happens when this occurs? Do you have to do an emergency landing?
ECAM displays (A320) main landing gear RED which means the gear isn't retracted and you can go ahead and make an emergency landing but mostly it's the job of ground personnel to remove the pin before engaging pushback service
Not really an emergency landing. You can fly with the gear extended, although you have some speed restrictions and burn more fuel. You may have to burn some fuel anyway, as the aircraft might be too heavy to land immediately. If you cannot dump fuel (or it gets your passengers to their destination faster) you can also just continue (bur keep an eye on your fuel gauges and do not end up like these guys: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapag-Lloyd_Flight_3378)
Thank you very much Captain Joe for inspiring me, i want to be a pilot since i was a kid and thank you for making videos about airplanes.😍
Congratulations on 700K!
A lot to remember, but I suppose it becomes second nature. Before taxing, make sure the tug has been disconnected. lol

I Don't Mine Doing That Everday
Thanks a lot Joe i'm beginner technician and there is some things that i don't know, good video
When you dont have enough money to have your buttlers do the routine safety check. Dude save up for some buttlers. They are the shit. Joe, great video, i learned a lot about the airplanes. A cool video would be about the life of airplane parts. Lets say... How long does it take for the tires to get old and need to be changed. The brake pads how often are they changed. How many flights happen before taking the airplane to the workshop for its general maintenance.
Major Tom the pilot is legally obliged to check the plane,as he/she is the one one flying it
Ok that i didnt know, im afraid ill have to fire my buttler
hoping to be a B777 or A320 pilot on Philippine Airlines soon, if those planes even exist when im old enough

Im TRM/HEADSET OPERATOR and i do walk-arounds about 8-10 times a day, but is a very good points you mentioned and a very good refreshment course, thanks man 😊
Does the caption and the first officer need to check outside or only one have to check.
It depends on the airline and their policies. At my airline we alternate who does the walkaround after each landing.

I'm an ex- Airforce guy who now flies RC airplanes for fun! ... before the first RC flight of the day.... grab and wiggle every control surface... look at the control linkages... push/pull on the engine/mount... push/pull on the wheels... have a close look at the prop... do a range check..., do a "...is it moving the correct way when I wiggle the sticks check,"
More than once there has been something that has grounded me for the day...
love all your videos...so informative.
Forgetting to remove those bright red engine covers before flight is unlikely,I have to say.
I love this channel so much i wish i'll be able to do the PPL licence! (i'm 17 y'o) thank you Captain Joe!!
I believe you can start the training at 17 in the UK or possibly younger. I cant remember how old you have to be to go solo though. The only real issue is cost. My lessons cost £80 per hour near two decades ago.
