The Helicopter Walk Around
Doing a DI (daily inspection) of your aircraft is one of the essential acts that gets drummed into a pilot from day one. Not only is it a legal requirement but it builds confidence that the aircraft is airworthy. In helicopters it is not unusual to have to stop and refuel several times over the course of a day. There are often several people loading and unloading your aircraft while you are in the pilots seat with engines running without much control what is going on, especially if only one skid is touching terra firma. There is a lot that can happen.
