guys and girls....
everybody has some tips or tricks that they use when they fly, ones that they have learned from their own experience or from that of others.
So please take a few minutes out of your day to make the life of another pilot a little bit easier and post a couple of yours here...
I 'll start the ball rolling with a couple of common ones that have been passed on to me... these are the only ones I know which is why I started this thread in the first place...
1) Don't rush... EVER... from the walk around to the flight to the approach and the rollout, take your time and if you think you've missed something then start again. chances are you have...
2) Leave your rotating beacon on... this is contrary to PPL training but it's a good way to spot the fact that you have forgotten to switch the MASTER off...
3) Dont retract the flaps during the rollout (go-arounds are the obvious exception) as its easier than you think to retract the gear instead.... wait till you've called 'clear' and you can devote a bit more attention to it...
dont be shy now....
