I work in prepress and when we get electronic files in we check them out to make sure they are ready for making the printing plates. We call this preflighting, what is the past tense?

Preflighted. If you're done preflighting it, it's been preflighted.
Ding.

Preflown? LOL, sorry. Actually, since it's an adjective that you have made into a verb (no harm, no foul, I'm sure we all say "I'll fax this to you" or "Can you email me that?"), I don't know that there's a past tense.
Maybe you could say "The files have been through preflight inspection"? Heehee, I am just on a roll:-)
Sorry. I think you could say "Preflight corrections have been made"? Use it as an adjective to describe the editing or the phase the files are in (They are in preflight editing right now).
Good luck!

Preflown? LOL, sorry. absolutely, because that's an adjective that you've made right into a verb (no damage, no foul, i'm particular all of us say "i am going to fax this to you" or "are you able to e-mail me that?"), i do not comprehend that there is a previous stressful. possibly you should claim "The records were through preflight inspection"? Heehee, i'm basically on a roll:-) Sorry. i imagine you should claim "Preflight corrections were made"? Use it as an adjective to describe the enhancing or the section the records are in (they're in preflight enhancing immediately). good success!

That sounds like a very technical term. If it was just preflight, like preflight as in before flying, it would be flight in present and past tense.

Make one up -- "preflighting" is a made up word so you may as well make up the past tense form of it too.

Preflew, or, maybe in simpler terms, preflighted. It's just like in baseball, someone flies out...it's usually said that they "flied out"

I don't know, so I would write "accuracy was verified by preflighting (name of file)"

In this instance of a fabricated verb, you might try "preflought", for want of anything else.
