Preflight Procedures
Preflight Procedures, single engine, fixed gear This checklist will work for most single
engine aircraft for the preflight inspection. Please be careful to note the variances
for the specific aircraft you will be flying. It is also doubled so that you will get 2
checklists for each sheet of paper. Delete one or have a spare.
Student Pilot Pre Solo Aeronautical Knowledge
Excel Spreadsheets and forms
VFR Navigation Log PDF Make sure and check sheet two for the flight plan form and
print sheets 1 and 2 back to back. All students should print several of these prior to
coming to their first cross country lesson. This is the form that I prefer to teach my
students to use.
Excel Pilot Logbook thanks to Cole again. Note, there is a second sheet for calculating costs/expenses.
FAA form 8710 Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application. All Students must complete this form and bring
it with them for the Practical test (aka Checkride). Type it out, print 3 copies and bring a blank one as well.
Make sure all of your information matches your medical/legal ID exactly.
Is there anything you would like to donate? Please Send them to me!
Checklist V2.1 have had updates to the
heading colors on the emergency
procedures and the addition of a check
for passenger briefing on the before
start checklist.
Checklists are an essential aspect of safe flying. Every pilot from a 747 captain to a brand new student pilot should use checklist
as necessary to facilitate in the safe outcome of any flight. All student pilots should bring the appropriate checklists with them to
their first lesson. This includes both the normal and emergency operations for the aircraft they will be flying and also the
preflight procedures checklist. Once students near the point in their training they need to print and bring in several VFR
navigation logs. Remember, coming to a lesson prepared will help you learn quickly, efficiently and safely
If the checklists are printed on the same sheet of paper back to back they will line up properly so that you can cut it down to a
small knee board sized sheet and laminate it.
