... but isn't it amazing how people can recall all these power settings and speeds! Somehow (as a not-a-pilot) I can still just about recall the numbers for downwind checks in a Varsity, as in those days ATCOs read PNs in the Tower when things were quiet. And I was lucky enough to get a fair few trips as a Pilot's assistant on Air Tests ... buth we Strubby ATC POs had our own kit on the Sqn, and would be called to assist if all the
proper Co-Pilots were busy flying with students. Happy days!
(Speed below 135, select gear down, 2400 rpm, "Co, synchronise" ... then the top panel, can't recall the sequence ... Oil Coolers Auto, Air Intakes Filter and something else (cowl flaps?) ... Brakes 1200 psi?, check 3 greens, checks complete. Close??)
