Were the SOPs written by Bert Hummingsworth or Martain Field?

You walked past one on the ramp, appearently if you didn't trip and fall down that's a checkride pass

Make sure you include that 7000th Mags on both check in flight and the canopy latch for the ninth time. I never knew how much work a single-engine, fixed gear DA40 could be. The Diamond test pilots that checked us out at the dealership sure made it look easier... eh, what would they know?

I actually had this conversation with a student on Tuesday:

"Sir, in SOP should I look left, right, center then turn or right, left then center then turn? No...is right, center THEN left, I think."

"How about you just look around for traffic?"

"Yes...but what is the procedure?"

"I use the windows."



Make it easy on yourself,
Derek
