Perflight

Perflight is a term that can refer to several different concepts, most commonly within the aviation industry. In the context of flight planning and operations, "perflight" often denotes activities that occur immediately before an aircraft departs. This can include pre-flight checks, which are a systematic inspection of the aircraft to ensure it is airworthy and safe for flight. These checks involve verifying the status of various systems, components, and controls.

Another meaning of "perflight" relates to the documentation and procedures associated with preparing for a flight. This might include reviewing flight plans, weather reports, NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen), and ensuring all necessary paperwork is in order. The pilot and crew are responsible for completing these pre-flight tasks.

In a broader sense, "perflight" can also be used informally to describe any aspect of aviation that takes place before the actual takeoff. This could encompass ground handling, fueling, and passenger boarding, all of which are critical stages leading up to a successful departure. The objective of all perflight activities is to ensure the safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance of air travel.
