King Air Pilots
My condolences to all the family friends and staff of LEA.
I hope this doesn't come across as arrogant but as a TRI who has delivered over 150 King Air type ratings in the last 6 years my former students know I am paranoid about a few things relating to the King Air, namely:-
1. Complete a take off brief whether you are MP or SP to include touch drills as to what to do in the event of an EFATO
2. If nothing else carry out an auto feather check prior to every flight not just first flight of the day. It takes 30secs and may save your life
3. As part of your line up checks ensure that the auto feather is armed
A working auto feather is part of the MEL certainly on Raisbeck and B250 aircraft, without it you will really struggle.
