why are the mags on and the fuel pumps off?
Maybe you only need fuel pumps on initially, given it's high wing I would imagine gravity does most of the work. That's just a guess, I have no experience of twins, let alone one of these. |

Clearly he was winding you up.
No sailor would ever misuse the word "abaft" to means moving in a sternwards didection. Never ever. 'Abaft' can only describe a relative position. "The helm is abaft the mainmast". The destroyer turned abaft the cruiser". It cannot possibly be used as a direction of motion. That is described as 'astern'. A vessel - or a helo - can move astern, it can never move abaft unless it moves abaft relative to something else as the term expresses where it moved, not in what manner or direction. |

Inverted, does "bank left" mean roll left, or point the lift vector to the left? :8

How about the B36, 6 turning, 4 burning. |

which is where the stage left / stage right used in the theatre comes from - an actor stood in the middle of the stage facing the audience , up stage and down stage is due to raked stages wheerhe the 'back' Upstage is higher that the front 'downstage' to give the audience a better view of the action

During my RAF QHI course I was teamed up with a Royal Navy pilot.
When spot turning the helicopter I’d been trained to announce “TAIL GOING LEFT”, “TAIL GOING RIGHT” or “MOVING BACK” etc as required for the benefit of crew cooperation. My RN colleague used to instead say stuff like “TURNING TO PORT”, “TURNING TO STARB’D” and “GOING ABAFT!” I think he just did it to confuse me, but I did get used to it and sometimes imitated him with a pirate accent.

The gauges on the Islander do look like something off a boat

There is a potential 'gotcha' with left/right identification on engines, as in:
'Looks like we'll have to shut it down.' 'Agreed. Make sure we get the right engine.' Referring to '1' and '2' (on a twin, as used to be the case) would remove the problem. |

But that's just an educated guess - does anyone know for sure? |
