Most important control
Radio transmit Hey, I'm a "Use the radio, dammit!" guy from way back -- but even I wouldn't rate the transmit button as my "most important control"... Maybe number three or so... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Most Important Control On My Plane
In a previous article, "Charles Talleyrand" said:
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. -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ "Panic kills" -- Rick Grant (quoting RCAF pilot training)

Most Important Control On My Plane
Charles Talleyrand wrote: Type of plane I have a VFR Cessna 150. M20 Most important control Radio transmit Yoke Least important control Pitot heat (if you need it, you shouldn't be flying) Why shouldn't you be flying if you need pitot heat? I would say landing light is the least important. I only use it for taxiing. Never working control Parking brake DME slave to nav #2. Slaves to nav #1, just not to #2. Avionics tech gave me complicated answer, translation "it won't work". Scariest control Landing light (when it suddenly failed during a night landing) On the Decathlon it was the door eject lever. On the Mooney, maybe the emergency gear extention? Control I never use Transponder test Marker beacon brightness Control in the wrong place Fuel shutoff (right where me feet can kick it) Fuel selector. I'm long armed so its not a big deal, others who have flown my plane have a very difficult time reaching it. Control I fixate about Mixture Gear Control that impresses non-pilot passengers GPS on button Red flashing "auto pilot not engaged" light. -Robert
