No worries Flyingforfun! Interesting replies.
What I suppose got to me was how well am I prepared for emergencies other than the ones we are forced to practice every now and then, ie PFLS, and well thats it.
What about brake failure, undercarriage failure, flat tyre, flap failure, elevator failure, throttle linkage failure, prop overspeed, blocked asi, failed vacum pump, ******ed trim, the list goes on...!
Well, I've been reading Chuck Yeager's book recently. Its bloody amazing. The thing that seems to have helped him most was his imtimate and detailed knowledge of his aircraft systems enabling him to make acuurate relevant and instant desicions based on thorough preparation. I aspire to that, but simply dont have the time or access to the relevant material. I am thinking of buying a POH for the Arrow I fly and learning more about its systems and potential problems / solutions. (There is in the plane but I dont live near enoguh to be able to read it whenever I want)
Anyway, just got me thinking like!
