aces low

downwind checks
would that be pre-landing checks then matey!!!!!!!!!!!!

and slow an aeroplane down
How many times have I inherited students or taken PPL's on check rides who seem to have never been taught to do that!

When shouting ‘clear prop’, make sure they have turned the intercom off (ouch my ears!)
Opening a window or door and shouting it OUT of the Aircraft helps too, rather than mumbling it to the instructor.....

And a good lookout in the area of the prop. too..

When taxiing, support the nosewheel with a little up elevator
And on the ground roll......rather than thundering down the runway with all the weight on the nosewheel and then hoiking the control column back whilst shouting "ROTATE" Where do they learn that?
