Any stories (serious and/or anectodal) on transitioning to a one
seater appreciated :-) Unfortunately, checklists are not prioritized, and often get so long that the really important things get muddled over. 1. Make sure the airbrakes are locked 2. Have it trimmed for takeoff at your C.G. (and too much nose down is better than too much nose up) 3. Lift off at sufficient flying airspeed (don't be too quick to leave mother earth). 4. ETC, other stuff... In any new aircraft type glider I fly, I look up the accident records first. The most common accident causes tell me how to prioritize my checklist, rather than just having 22 equally important checklist items (air vent closed? C'mon). Then I go and cut down the checklist, eliminating some "niceties" that aren't on the POH checklist but somebody threw in anyway... |
