I'd also add a couple of words of distributing the workload over time, such as pre-tuning frequencies and getting destination weather in advance. > 4) The mixture explanation is pretty good, though I don't remember a 172 > having fuel flow or egt gauges.

That's optional equipment, but it is on the list. I've seen planes with and without those. The Cessna checklist for leaning actually includes 2 procedures: one with and one w/o the EGT indicator. > 5) You might want to talk about carb heat, since it could be an issue on > non-fuel injected engines in older 172s. even in Northern California if > the humidity is high enough. Correct, although AFAIK there's no carb ice yet in fgfs. I do flip it nevertheless whenever there are any conductive conditions just to keep myself doing the same procedure in the fg and in the real life. > 6) might want to lean on the ground while taxiing too to prevent spark plug > fouling and rough operation same as the above V. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
