Title: CIGARTIP
Post by: earl1937 on April 22, 2015, 02:50:59 PM

 :airplane: There are many things which you can do on takeoff or prior to takeoff! You should always use the check list for that aircraft prior to takeoff, but as I found out, many ferry jobs involved aircraft which did not have a check list that I could find, so I made up one which I used for a pre-take off check list. CIGARTIP
See how many of you can figure out what that word stands for!

C = Flight Controls
I = Instruments
G = Directional Gyro Set
A = Altimeter Set
R = Radio Set
T = Trim Set
I = Engine Idle?
P = Propeller

How'd I do boss?
