The importance of knowing your aircraft type

[foxmoth]

This 'problem' (and not dissimilar to the problem of flying a Cessna fitted with a vernier throttle if you have not flown one before), I believe is common to type, so in my company would be covered by either the type course (checkout), or a Flight crew notice (Briefing).

FFF,

I think your post is worthy of a much greater audience than just Private Flying. Thanks for having the courage to post it. It just goes to prove learning is a continual process.

Good luck

Fascinating Post.

Bill Bedford had a saying he was fond of reciting

'Even a monkey can fall from a tree'.

Excellent that your group took it in the correct manner it could just as easily happen to the rest of them (or us, including CFIs). Its all part of the learning experience.
