| Before an airplane can take off
Before an airplane can take off there are things that have to
be done for flight preparation. For a big airliner this means
flight planning, Weather, fuel load, [[weight and balance]]. After
that is done there is a checklist in which the pilot has to
complete in order to be airborne. Such things as Electronic,
hydraulic, pneumatic, pressurization, control, instrument, radio,
navigational systems all have to be checked. Soon after checklists
for engine starting are followed. All this goes on until the
aircraft finally reaches the runway where it is going to take off.
