Altitude
Heading
Double-checking the Lowest safe altitude (LSAT)

will the weather effect the heading, and will it effect my duration
Will there be unexpected conditions such as low-altitude rain/ storms
ETA - estimated time of arrival
take off time is 13:00

All pilots should follow safety acronyms IMSAFE & ADVISE

Double check LSAT
Make sure you have the right amount of Fuel for the flight
Knowing fuel rate and fuel flow
Fuel Rate 35 Litres/ hr
45 minutes worth of Extra fuel in case of circling
Speed must stay 110 Kts throughout the whole flight
