STEP 15 2
Check Wing surfaces are clear of ice, snow or frost. Visually inspect the lower wing surface. If there is frost or ice on the lower surface outboard of measuring stick 4, there may also be frost or ice on the upper surface. The distance that frost extends outboard of measuring stick 4 can be used as an indication of the extent of frost on the upper surface. Note : Takeoff with light coating of frost, up to 3 mm (1/8 inch) in thickness on lower wing surfaces due to cold fuel is permissible. However, all leading edge devices, all control surfaces, tab surfaces, upper wing surfaces and balance panel cavities must be free of snow or ice.
Check Leading Edge slats in good condition Check Vortex in place No structural damage.
