Awesome pre-flight. The industry should bring back the FE.
I guess they don't need those things to fly then, right?
Amateur mistake. No cross-checks...? That's a fairy sophisticated plane
Fairly sophisticated plane? A Cirrus is a faily sophisticated plane.
I don't know how you can do a pre-flight inspection and miss that?
Engineer should have put an entry in the logbook before installing the pitot covers. that way even an F/O would have seen the item. Simple fix. geez.
It would seem that these static ports on the engines are related to engine performance and are not part of the Air Data System for the flight instruments, thus their being covered would not be as critical as covered fuselage static ports.
