B Inspection after rigging - Walk around the aircraft

1. All parts of the airframe

a) check for flaws such as bubbles, holes, bumps and cracks in the surface;
b) check leading and trailing edges of the wings and control surfaces for
cracks;
2. Cockpit area
a) check the canopy locking mechanism;
b) check the canopy emergency release see section 7.14 (not each day, but min.
every 3 month);
c) check the main pin securing;
check the securing ropes of the headrest (not applicable for the Version
mounted at the lift pin tube);
d) check all controls for wear and function, incl. positive control check;
e) check if the handle of the pedal adjustment cable will be pulled to the front
so that it can’t hook into the trim release lever at the control stick, even with
pedals in a rear position;
f) check the tow release system for wear and function incl. cable release check;
g) check for foreign objects;
h) check the instrumentation for wear and function;
i) check the radio and other parts of the electric system (fuses!) for function. If
there is no electrical power, it can be expected that the battery in the fin is
not fitted. Flying without this battery is only permitted when flying solo
with an extremely under weight pilot, (see paragraph 6.8.4) otherwise
the forward C.G. limit may be exceeded;
j) check the brake fluid level;
k) check if the fin tank is empty;
l) Check at front and rear canopy if the end of the rear locking rod doesn’t
protrude over the canopy frame contour with opening mechanism in fully
open position.
If the rod protrudes over the contour proceed with instruction 3 of TN
1000/42;
m) Option Canopy warning: Check if with front canopy locked and rear canopy
open a warning burr appears. If not you have to exchange the battery, see
section 7.15.6.
