Which of the following is NOT part of the preflight action specified in regulations?

The correct choice focuses on the components of preflight action required by regulations, which emphasize critical factors for safe flight operations. Preflight action includes understanding current weather conditions and forecasts, verifying that fuel requirements are met for the planned flight, and calculating takeoff and landing distance data to ensure the aircraft can operate safely within the available runway limits.

While the inspection history of the aircraft is important for overall maintenance and safety, it is not explicitly listed as a required part of preflight action under the regulations. This means that during the preflight process, pilots must prioritize the immediate actionable items directly influencing the flight's safety and operational capabilities, which do not include historical inspection details. Therefore, focus on weather, fuel, and performance data is essential to ensure preparedness for the flight.
