@@SlowAsianDriver Hi, yes I understand the preflight physical check but I think the idea of looking when moving the controls in the cockpit meant I was seeing if I had full range on control surface movement and in the right directions. You could have a partial jam on either side etc which the walk around check doesn’t pick up. Then its not until near or at lift off that you find out there is a problem.
