Check nav lights and rotating beacon
You check them on EVERY flight? I only check those before a night flight.
(And my rotating beacon was removed years ago, in lieu of strobes.)
Check electric fuel pump
That's before take-off, on my checklist.
Check flap operation
Yep, those are down and inspected during the pre-flight.
Sample fuel from each tank and from the gascalator
Yep, that's part of it, too. (Guess I figured that was a "given"...)
Touch everything inspected (not just look at it but touch it - how
can you tell a nut is loose just by looking?).
Roger that.
Alternator belt is checked for freeplay
I can't get at mine, sadly.
Inspect tires and brakes (including exposed lines)
Mine are under the "fancy pants" -- so all I can see is the bottom of the
tires.
