4. Pratice Emergencies only with a qualified Instructor, so IF it happens you are prepared.


Why? If you only practice with an instructor you are much more likely to panic if it happens for real and you do not have your safety blanket along.

I practice emergences, including PFLs, regularly, but I only fly with an instructor once or twice a year, normally in a different aircraft type from that which I fly most of the time. I have survived one total engine failure and one partial without any damage or injury. If I had not kept in current practice I would have probably crashed both times.
