ask your mate if they are ok with you doing it etc
Sorry,not familiar with this type of pc flightdeck.Is this what we've come to?
Pick your moment to do it ie. decent weather, familiar airport
Again,too pc.You dont know what conditions will exist when you're called upon to utilize these fundamental skills.
All too frequently, I see pilots practice raw data hand flying in the aircraft (and reducing the safety margin) because they have a sim coming up.
Aaaaarrrgh...more pc.If theyre reducing the safety margin then thats why they need to do it.The world wont stop turning if you're a dot low/high.Practice it until you nail it.
Old Smokey,
Excellent advice from someone who obviously knows what its all about.
