When I learnt to fly, airmanship was at the top and bottom of the briefing board, and covered such things as keeping a good lookout, clearing turns, engine handling, listen out before transmitting, treating other pilots/aircraft as you would like to be treated etc. It also covered other things such as inserting control locks, chocking, dressing props, checking behind before a run-up, and leaving the aircraft as you would like to find it (which back then included empty the ashtrays!).
A good, fair and accurate description I should think. And what was drilled into me at the Flying School with which I did my training.
(which back then included empty the ashtrays!).
Quite possibly did you and I learn to fly with the same bloke?
