Make your landings consistent

⦁ Your priorities: Aviate Navigate Communicate

⦁ We can't eliminate all risks but we can mitigate risks

⦁ Correlation vs rote memorization

⦁ Have good cockpit management of tools including ForeFlight, checklists, and paperwork

⦁ Have good cockpit management of the crew and passengers

⦁ Visualize (plan) the flight before taking off...air show performers do

⦁ Sitting in the plane with the engine off going over the checklist does not cost anything

⦁ Stay within limits of you and the machine

⦁ If you read it, it’s probably true, if you hear it, it’s magnetic.

⦁ When leaning max RPM is peak

§ 91.3 Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command.

§ 91.13 Careless or reckless operation.

§ 91.103 Preflight action.

⦁ The Horizon is our biggest tool and it's usually available

⦁ Use all tools but not to point of hindrance

⦁ Windsock points to start point

⦁ Use the 'Lindbergh reference' (side windows)

⦁ Never full flaps when climbing

Cleared to land = an air traffic controller has authorized an aircraft to land on a specific runway, go around if necessary

For the option = full stop, full stop taxi back, touch and go, stop and go

⦁ "Traffic in sight" or "Negative contact"
⦁ Do not say "I have them on the fish finder" or "I have them on ADS-B"

⦁ "Looking for Citation" (Be specific then they know you listened)

⦁ "2800 climbing for 5500"

⦁ Get Flight Following when leaving a Class C or D airport...they will set you up

North Up = plane moves

Track Up = map moves

Wherever weather was 15 minutes ago on radar it could be in a different location now

Don't fly through yellow on the radar for any size plane

⦁ D = Current LAT LON

⦁ VOR/RADIAL/DME

Example: LGC/90/50

⦁ GPS Waypoint/RADIAL/Distance

Example: SMLTZ/45/10

⦁ Tap on VOR...Hold...Setup as published
