9.11 Flight implementation

When all the above has been examined, calculated and found to be in order for

the flight, it is now time to check the aircraft, add fuel and get ready. But before

you can take off, there is a lot to do in the cockpit.

9.11.1 Logbook

Before every flight, you check not only the aircraft, but also the aircraft logbook

(journey log). You make sure, among other things, that the planned flight can be

completed without exceeding the time for the next inspection, whether there

are any special remarks from, for example, the mechanic or other users, whether

the insurance and airworthiness certificate are in order.

After landing, airborne time is entered in the aircraft logbook together with

information about the purpose of the flight, departure and arrival airports and

the pilot's signature.

In your own logbook, you indicate the time from the aircraft starting to taxi, with

the intention to perform a flight until the aircraft is parked again after the flight.

9.11.2 Checklist and start-up

Often, as an aid to remembering everything in the correct order, you have a

checklist to follow.

The checklist includes, among other things, checking the engine, flaps, that the
doors are closed, briefing the passengers, make a departure briefing with regard

to possible threats and errors etc.
