Type of plane
I fly a Piper Lance.
Most important control
Intercom ISO to shut up my kids.
Least important control
The knob that sets your level on the AI. Never use it.
Never working control
Electric trim.
Scariest control
Landing gear override.
Control I never use
Fin strobe - keep it on all the time so the fin strobe comes on when I
turn on the master.
Control in the wrong place
Rudder trim - I hate reaching down to floor level for it in IMC.
Control I fixate about
Landing gear lever.
Control that impresses non-pilot passengers
The "Gear unsafe" light that comes on while the gear is in transit.
