Recently took a job up in the Great Lakes area in a jet, little different form the floats and speciality air service stuff I have been doing, but some similarities and takeaways both directions
One was my prior post here about teaching and learning rote, that was based on some experiences I had in sim training, when things happen faster understanding things to the level of correlation is imperative as is finding teachers who teach to that level, don’t just know what to do, know WHY you do it, all the way from basic airmanship to avionics, this is true for a J3 all the way to a SR71, it just is more apparent when things go sideways faster
Also AOA, having flown a few planes with AOA, man I debate adding a AOA to my skywagon, the instant information it gives you, in the jets your approach and takeoff and climb speeds are re calculated for every landing and takeoff, yet that little AOA is like a honey badger, it don’t care, just reads the same regardless of flap setting or weight, ice etc when it comes to approach or climb
Company also has some other assets with much lower approach speeds, all the way 0KIAS
Ether way, thought I’d share
