And i thought 10 minutes was short.
I am worse, I get there 15 minutes early (That is if I don't get a Ticket from the airport Police!!) and I start my preflight, the funny thing is the plane I fly is owned by the student before me with the same instructor. My preflight takes around 18 minutes.
I touch every single misleading part, there is no better feeling when you are in the cockpit to know that you did your best checking that aircraft physically. Especially when you are alone with only 45hrs TT.
Be safe out there.
