Aviation fuel grades (fuel colors)
.
.
.
As part of your preflight inspection, you must draw a sample of fuel to check for water, contaminants/sediments, and the color of the fuel.
The hue of the fuel lets you know if you have the right grade; lower grades are typically used for low-compression engines, as these motors require fuel to ignite at a lower temperature.
Be sure to use the correct aviation grade for your aircraft's engine type.
.
.
.
.
.
Fuel Grades:

AV GAS 80: RED
AV GAS 100: GREEN
AV GAS 100LL(Low-Lead): BLUE
JET A: COLORLESS or STRAW
.
.
.
.
.
.
Other inspections you should keep on rotation
.
.
.
Preflight briefings
.
.
As the Pilot-in-Command, you have to let your passengers know about the seatbelt regulations according to Federal Aviation Regulation 91.107.
It's also important to provide an Emergency briefing to educate those on board about what to do in case of certain crises, like engine failure or a fire.
.
.
Winter considerations
.
.
.
When the temperature drops or winter approaches, make sure to include inspection for ice on your preflight checklist. Inspect all moving and aerodynamic components, including the landing gear, for icy deposits.
.
.
.
Treat every preflight like it's your first time
It's easy to forget the details of the preflight check after performing it enough times, so some pilots try to rely on their memory.
This is not the safest way and can result in someone missing vital steps. It would be wiser to go through all the steps one by one each time. Any problems should be fixed before taking off rather than trying to solve them in mid-air.
