＞ Who told you this ridiculous thing ？

decades ago on the Internet

"In the past, pilots used to come down to the ground to inspect the aircraft before departure, but since various vehicles are moving around the aircraft on the ground and the personnel involved in these vehicles are also working on the aircraft, the pilots may get injured.

"In the past, pilots used to come down to the ground to inspect the aircraft before departure, but since there were various vehicles moving around the aircraft on the ground and personnel working on them, there was a possibility that the pilot could be injured, and depending on the weather conditions outside, the pilot's body could also be affected, so they stopped doing this inspection immediately before departure.


The following Q/A says "sometimes it is done".



Answers

NO, not all airline pilots do a walk-around for every flight.

At my airline, At my airline, maintenance personnel do a "Pre-Departure Check" before each flight from all main bases on all wide body aircraft, B777, and B787)

The PDC includes:

1) a walk around

2) a check of critical systems

3) a signature in the Journey logbook

As a result pilots very rarely do a walk around on a wide body aircraft. If it were an ETOPS flight, we would also have to make an entry in the If it was an ETOPS flight, we would also have to make an entry in the Journey Log Book stating that the APU oil level was checked by noting the EICAS APU Oil Quantity reading.

In addition to the In addition to the maintainance walk around, the ramp crew also does a quick walk around inspection just prior to push back.

If you read it on the Internet a few decades ago (!?!), you are not listening to it. \If you read it on the internet, then you haven't heard about it.

And just below the Answers quoted
Yes, pilots of airliners do a walk around to visually check the aircraft before every flight, just like A quick YouTube search brings up quite a few videos which explain the process.

I'm not sure if you've been through ？.

I don't know if all airlines also have pilots check the aircraft at the ramp, but at least my company does it every time.

You also wrote that you don't have time for that, but you know that there is more than one pilot.

Therefore, you wrote

at the beginning of this article, the pilot is hanging around under the plane before departure to check for any abnormalities, but I don't think any airline does this these days.

is false information written from your imagination.

＞ but are you through ？

No, I am not through at all. From the English text above, it seems that pilots still do it.

But is this action Voluntary or Mandatory? I heard that some airlines don't allow them to do it for the reasons mentioned above.

＞ At least in my company

I know you work for an airline, but do you go to LAX (Tom Bradley)? If so, I would be very interested to know if the pilots go down to the ground while you are in the cockpit checking things out, or if you do it before you go into the cockpit. Some pilots may say, "I'm not in the mood today," and not get off the ground. Also, since "there is more than one pilot", do they ever have the first officer do it? Furthermore, in the B747 era, did they have the third engineer do it?

It must be hard for pilots to depart from JFK on a blizzard night in the middle of winter.

I will write a temporary post.

The communicating sound in the movie "Encounter with the Unknown" is
supposedly similar to the Japanese "Pacific War Start Radio Broadcast" chimes.
If it is said to be similar, it seems to be similar.

I wonder if Mr. Spielberg took a crack at it.


The movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind was also very interesting.

The scene where the spaceship （ a little bigger than a car ） flies just above a running car was also unique.

A space version of "agitated driving"?
