Perhaps something useful during training would also be a simple look at the wing shape from above....... How does this long thin wing behave with and without power over the surfaces? How does it compare to a King Air, Mu2 etc? What happens when the 12 knots of wind down the runway dissapears on short final? Do I ever need to get near a full flap ref approach to a short runway? Can I trust the shaker to warn me when I'm already in the descent phase.... Aoa is great if in my scan, If I have it..... If I'm climbing out and retracting flaps is it better to lower the nose a bit before going back to a climb profile.... Trainees please be thinking long and hard about this stuff. I got bitten, but I'm here to tell the tale. Be safe all.
