Default Hand off...

Yeah, that was his first time in a Warrior, and Wally just did a
preflight and ramp quiz and went.. I sprang it on Wally and he didn't
have the time for the usual classroom spiel... I am sure he will have
Dennis read the POH.
I have a high school classmate that got real dead when he had carb ice
in a Cherokee and then tried to stretch the glide... I have had carb
ice in Cubs, T-Crafts, Aeroncas, Cherokees, SkyHawks, Skylanes,
Apaches, and a bunch I don't remember right at the moment (al what's
hiz names disease)... As far as I'm concerned the carb heat is on
anytime the throttle comes back... Never saw a crash from using carb
heat...

So, Gleim is the one? Actually, he has a book and is half way through
it... When he finishes then I will order the DVD with the certificate
option, for him to do the second time around... He needs to get his
ASEL, then we will send him for 'legal' instruction in the Apache... My
intent was to get him to the point that he can handle the airplane
reasonably well and then turn him over to a CFI, not for me to prepare
him for the check ride...
