A great flight starts before the engine ever turns. ✈️
CFII Devin is teaching the importance of a proper preflight, including one of the most critical steps—sumping the fuel. Checking for water, debris, and the correct fuel grade helps ensure the aircraft is safe and ready to fly.
Good pilots don’t skip the details. Safety starts on the ground.
