How to - complete and exit pre-flight walkaround?

In MSFS 2024, 'Preflight' is the first phase of a flight when you start "cold and dark" from a parking spot / ramp. Your pilot character spawns close to the currently selected aircraft, and it is possible to walk around and check the condition of different parts (indicated with a blue pin in the UI).

The following parts are interactable:

• Nose Gear Strut
• Main Gear Struts
• Ailerons
• Elevator
• Rudder
• Flaps
• Engine Cowlings (GE) - when covers removed via EFB
• Cargo Doors
• Main Door

You may exit the pre-flight walkaround at any time by clicking on the door handle or using the user-defined key bind for 'TAKE CONTROL OF CHARACTER' (Default: Shift+C).
