What to inspect
Check the AI-25TL engine history, fuel system and tip tanks. Check the landing gear, flaps, speed brakes and hydraulic system. Check the ejection seats, canopies and oxygen system. Check the fire detection and extinguishing systems, electrical power, and navigation and radio equipment. Confirm the manual and records are current.

Safety notes
- The manual's weights are approximate and must not be used to compute aircraft performance. Use Appendix A.
- Prototype testing recorded engine surges and one in-flight flameout. Review the engine failure, surge and fire procedures and the engine's service history.
- The manual prohibits any operation or configuration it does not cover. Get clearance before attempting anything outside it.
