Post Start; A left to right, down to up cockpit scan. checking that each and every item is in the correct state. This replaces the MPTFISCHE check, is far more comprehensive and works on every aircraft type you will ever fly.
Pre Take off;
Fuel
Fluids (windscreen water, smoke oil, drinking water)
Chemical .. correct type and quantity
Nozzles .. set appropriatley... Hate doin 60 litre per
Hectare work with the CP's set on the smallest hole size
Hoses .. disconnected
and Map .. Also hate getting to the job only to realise the map is sitting safely back in the office
I have no neumonic for it, but it is only 6 items ..say it aloud a few times. Easy and damn usefull.
At the Job;
SWOT
Sun Position
Susceptibles.. crops AND people
Wind direction/strength
Wires
Obstacles .. dead trees, windmills and such
Terrain .. rising ground, Great dividing ranges and such. Also a good time to take note of any potential forced landing areas.
(The WISHSTANDE check is a load of crap if you ask me)
Pre Landing: GUMP
Gas .. very American I know, but it works
Undercarriage .. 12 Years and nearly 8000 hours ag and not a single wheels up landing yet. Must be working!!
Mixture Rich .. which becomes Condition lever to flight idle in the Turbines. .. but GUCP sounds stupid
Pump on or off as required.
I have a few other mini checks that I do, but thats about it.
And no, I have never done a p chart for an ag plane...come to think of it, I think I only ever did a couple for the cherokee six.
