Hi,
My current plane is an open cockpit, Luton Minor - much like a
Pietenpol. I found out real soon that checklists and maps can be real
dangerous.
My first checklist exited plane without permission, second one wrapped
around my face in flight - I then dispatched it over the side.
I also found that you really need to carry 2 maps folded in different
ways, because it is impossible to refold the map in flight. Big
advantage of hand held GPS - they don't blow away.
The good news is there ain't much to check on a luton, my BUMFICH check
is just a CH.
carb heat - on, on, on ( been there done that )
harness tight - yep
I suppose I could also check the fuel, but what's the point
my emergency checklist
found a big field - yep
belts tight - yep.
I am looking forward to the luxury of having something worth checking.
Pete
