Some Tips

⦁ Your priorities: Aviate Navigate Communicate

⦁ We can't eliminate all risks but we can mitigate risks

⦁ Have good cockpit management of tools/info including ForeFlight/Garmin Pilot, checklists, etc

⦁ Have good cockpit management of crew

⦁ Visualize the flight before taking off

⦁ Consider your passengers/students tolerance

⦁ Stay within limits of you and the machine

 ⦁ Standard atmosphere is 15°C at sea level at 29.92

⦁ Logging PIC vs Acting PIC

⦁ If you read it, it’s probably true, if you hear it, it’s magnetic.

⦁ When leaning max RPM is peak

⦁ Monitor Six Pack/PFD, Horizon, Wind Direction then adjust with Pitch Power Trim Rudder Bank

⦁ The Horizon is our biggest tool and it's available in all planes

⦁ Use all tools but not to point of hindrance

⦁ Windsock points to start point…Fly as if you are coming out of cone

⦁ Use the Lindbergh reference

⦁ Never full flaps when climbing

⦁ Carb heat when rpm under green arc

Cleared to land = full stop power off, go around if necessary

For the option = full stop, full stop taxi back, touch and go, stop and go

⦁ Find a spot that does not move

⦁ Runway made power down nose down

⦁ "don't let it touch down"

⦁ Hold back full yoke on roll out limit braking

North Up = plane moves

Track Up = map moves

Wherever weather was 15 minutes ago on radar it could be in a different location now

Don't fly through yellow on the radar for any size plane

⦁ VOR/RADIAL/DME

⦁ APT/RADIAL/Distance

⦁ Tap on VOR...Hold...Setup as published
