Gas Undercarriage Mixture Prop

Never heard the S before.


There used to be CIGARTIP

Which was:

Controls, Instruments, Gas, Altimeter. can't remember the 'R', Trim 'I'
I don't know either and Props

Good one for simple lightplanes is CIGMFT. (Cig means fine tobacco)

Controls Instruments Gas Mixture Flaps Trim.

Or for people who are worried about a gear-up, it's

Make sure the gear is down
Put the gear down if it isn't
See the gear down lights?
