RE: DON"T FLY DIFFERENTLY just because you are in your plane, or no one is with you to critique you, or your confidence says you know the plane well.
I hope everyone is paying attention. One of the reasons that I decided to sell my first KR was because I was making mistakes that would have ended up costing me my life. The reason for making these mistakes was due to my familiarity with the aircraft. I knew that I should be following procedure, but I knew the plane so well that I kept skipping them. I am speaking of the checklists. I did not use any. You say that is dumb, well it is. It is also not a good reason for selling your plane, but it is a good reason for an attitude adjustment. I feel very fortunate to have a partner like Jerry, because I know that he will keep me in line, as I will him. This time, I not only owe it to myself and my family I owe it to him also.
