- Set as many of the radios/nav aids up as possible before you even approach the hold point for departure.
- Use the plastic wallets for plates and have them in order. You just peel off and stick in the side pocket as you use them.
- Know your power settings for level flight, various descent rates, etc...
- If flying with somone who is also a pilot, make sure you tell them not to play, its bloody confusing if you go to do something to find it not as you expect!
- Write down your nav frequencies so you arent straining with the chart.
