In a similar vein I once found myself (on the ground) having changed the
drive configuration on a helicopter, a procedure that involved moving throttles
and switches with much dexterity and panache
'Both engines running, two Flight Idle stops out, 2 leads 1, 2 leads 1, 2 leads 1, 2 leads 1, into Acc Drive'...holds breath waiting for the crunch...
Could somebody confirm if my recollection of the Hawk T1 pre-landers is correct? It's been 13 years since the staff of 208 noticed I was inept and got rid (some would say it should have been at least 13 and a half years but there you go!), but I seem to recall:
Speed below 200
Airbrake in, MI black
Gear down, button fully in
Fuel for 150, 130, 117 (or so)
Mid flap
I'm secure, you're secure,
Flap has travelled, 3 greens
My speed has been below 200 ever since
