M18bloke, that was the kind of advice I was looking for, sounds like I should use a checklist for a while until I get to know the machine. I will be doing a couple hours dual in a Dromader with one of their veterans before I have to do any procedures alone. What are your thoughts on priming the fuel pump often, one of the guys at the hangar said he primes the fuel pump every line to prevent any chance of fuel starvation. (small lever to the pilots right behind the mag switch). Do you do the same?

The comment I made about the “operator attitude” is not based solely on the Ag business, in Canada there is no shortage of aviation companies that try to put the bottom line ahead of safety. I’m thankful the people I’ll be working with DON’T have that mindset.

Thanks again
