Hi Frank - welcome to the A2A forums!

First question: is the engine safely shut down? You can't pre-flight the aircraft if it's running.

Thanks,
Nick

Haha - you're welcome Frank.

I guess in the real thing it'd be a bit more obvious that you don't preflight the aircraft when the engine is already running, but in the sim, I guess something like this is easier to overlook. Anyway, hope you enjoy the 172.

Cheers,
Nick
