2. Why implant an auto suggetion in any students head that it may be OK to rumble along at 7000 feet? crazy man.
To stimulate some thought, when might 7000ft be the safest height to be above the surface in a Raven? I can think of at least one answer.

How many pilots understand that there's a maxium RoD? To its credit the AFM does state the reasons for 9000ft agl limit.

Spraying white powder everywhere will cling to the screen and you will be blind!
I find this comment a bit concerning. All the ones i have seen have been Halon, the aviation world has an exemption to still use these non-residue extinguishers because of their effectiveness/relatively low toxicity. Powder belongs elsewhere.

I have been puzzled by the left footwell placement. I have also realised i never check the pressure on the one i fly and don't know how it operates!
