big pistons forever
I noted your comments regard flap and touch and go....i always raise the flap for the student and call out "Flap up, take off" the student then applies full power. Gives me a few seconds to abort if things aren't going right.
Also caution aircraft with electric flaps (cessna340), it can take the full length of a 1000m runway on touch and go for them to retract from full flap and stop producing drag. Full flap will always be a full stop landing.
Also from an instructors view always make sure the heaters work.
It can get quite cold at even 5000 feet here in the UK.
The student won,t notice the cold!
P.S. anybody know why Piper wired the stall warners through the u/c squat switch on the Seminole so that they can't be checked on the ground...seems a bit barmy to me, is there a reason?
