brake to verify smooth and symmetric operation of the brakes. Set
the parking brake and perform a run up to verify that the parking
brake is operating correctly.

Magnetic Compass
Check presence, legibility and date of the compensation card. Check
the smooth functioning of the magnetic compass. A nervous or
otherwise unstable compass indicated a vibration or magnetic field
problem. One should be familiar with generic magnetic compass
turning errors in tuning or accelerating flight.
Airspeed/Altitude Indication
Check the logic and smooth functioning of the pitot/static related
indicators. While increasing speed do not allow the speed to increase
above V
NE
. While decreasing speed do not stall the aircraft. Indicated
situation should follow actual situation instantaneous. Lagging or
“sticking” indication is reason for complaint.

Check the correct functioning of the radio. Tune in to a frequency
given by ATC and check whether both receiving and transmitting
levels are acceptable.
XPDR
Check the functionality of the transponder. Ask a transponder code of
ATC and ask whether they receive the signal. They should check for
the primary and secondary signal including altitude. Try to send an
ident and ask ATC to reply via radio when they have received it.
