"Remove Before Flight" Fluorescent Orange Nylon Tag/Banner/Streamer - 10 Pack

What are those red warning pins on planes Today, we'll be talking about the "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT' tags and warnings you see on parked aircrafts. Have you ever wondered why parked aircrafts have these red tags with huge letters saying REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT? At the end of the red flag is mostly either a cover or locking pin because a lot of the parts on the aircraft are vulnerable and need to be properly covered or secured before a long parking time. For example the pitot tube, which measures the airspeed, has a tiny little entry hole at the front which gives flies or other small insects a perfect habitat or if your plane is parked at an airstrip in the desert, sand could accumulate over time in the pitot tube and could lead to a false reading. Similar situation during the winter. Melting snow could enter the tube and freeze up again blocking your pitot tube. Same comes with locking pins.
