Downwind Vital Actions.....

The one I was taught went B-U-M-F-F-G-G-H-C


Brakes off

U/C down - it was down and welded to begin with!

Mixture rich

Fuel - sufficient / tank selected

Fuel pump on

Gyros syncronised

Guages - all green

Hatches and harnesses

Crew - all happy?


Later on in the JP the mantra was.....


speed below 140

airbrakes in

u/c down

fuel sufficient for 90 (95) kt threshold speed

flaps to take off (limit was 150 kts ISTR)

hydraulics - brakes on/off pressure good, confirm exhausted on release

hatches and harnesses - checked

Amazing really what a young brain can soak up - the first solo was nearly 30 years ago in the dear old Mk.3 .....happy days!
