| CHECKLISTS: |
| Hint #1 |
Do you find that it is hard for your
students to follow checklists?
How about a head buried in the cockpit reading a
checklist during shutdown on the busy ramp?
Try this for a solution make up or cue words that
include checklist items.
EXAMPLE:
G.U.M.P. Check (gas, undercarriage, mixture and
prop)
SLOWDOWN PROCEDURE: Carb heat in, mixture rich, fuel
on both
|
|
| Hint #2 |
Climbing and Descending Checklist
SEVEN UP AND SEVEN DOWN:
(climb 7 up)Cowl flaps open, mixture rich, prop
full, throttle full.
(descent 7 down) throttle reduce, prop adjust,
mixture richen and cowl flaps closed.
This check is in the form of a seven and works for
many types of aircraft.
|
|
| Hint #3 |
Shutdown Checklist
BACKWARDS "L": Start from the top and shut
down.Radios off, transponder off, flaps up, mixture
lean, switches off, mags off (when engine quits),
master off.
This one has been very successful with examiners
because it never misses an item, keeps the student's
eyes outside, and works on every airplane.
|
|
| Hint #4 |
When teaching radio calls teach the
five "W's". (works with both controlled and
uncontrolled airports)
1. W ho they are calling.. ex.crestview unicom..
2. W ho they are.. cessna 23456
3. W here they are.. 10 miles to the north at 3500
4. W hat they want.. request airport advisory
5. W ho they are calling.. crestview unicom. It is
good pratice to repeat the airport name as the last
transmission. That way if it is missed at the
beginning, it can be heard at the end. |

These are some checks our flying
school use:
Top of Climb/Cruise Check - "PFIELD"
P - Power Set
F - Mixture Leaned, Fuel Endurence
I - Instruments - Engine/Flight Instruments, OAT
Confirmed
E - Electrics - Circuit Breakers, Landing Lights
Off, Ammeter no drop.
L - Location Identified
D - DI/Compass Aligned, Direction Confirmed
---------------------------------------
Top of Descent Checks - "BRIEFS"
B - Joining/Approach Briefed
R - Radio/Nav Aid Set
I - Engine/Flight Instrument Checked, OAT Confirmed
E - Electrics - Circuit Breakers, Ammeter No
Discharge, Landing Lights On
F - Mixture Full, Fuel Endurence Checked
S - Hatches/Harnesses Secured, Cabin Clear
-------------------------------------
We also do a "CHART" Check at every turning point
for a new heading on a navigation flight:
C - Compass/DI Aligned
H - Heading Bug set
A - Altimetry - QNH Confirmed, Height Confirmed
R - Radio/Nav Aids Tuned
T - 3T's - Time, Turn, Talk (If required)
-------------------------------------
Always take out and actual action checklist to make
sure all items of the checks have been completed. |
