FIRST FLIGHT
Prior to your first flight in this aircraft, it is only prudent that you
obtain some training "in type." You are encouraged to take advantage
of this type of training that can be with another Lancair owner in his
aircraft, or thru a program offered by companies such as HPAT. For
information on training/flight familiarization, call Lancair. Your first
flight should be safe, enjoyable and rewarding. Training is very good
insurance. Every time you fly, take advantage of the FAA services
that are provided for your safety — weather briefings and flight plans.
Plan your flight with these data and plan out alternatives if weather is
any factor whatsoever.
Preflight your aircraft as if it is a game. Someone has deliberately
introduced a fault into the aircraft — try to find it. If you make your
preflight without a checklist in hand, go over the checklist in the
cockpit to see if you checked each item. Once in the cockpit use your
checklist religiously. Was the fuel level correct for both wing tanks?
Is it adequate for the trip intended? Baggage (secured of course) is not
excessive such that gross weight or CG is out of limits? Mentally
review the flight from takeoff thru landing for speeds and
altitudes.
Rotate at___kts, climb at___kts, level off at___feet, etc.
Is all equipment operative for the flight? Lights, transponder, flashlight,
batteries plus spares, life vests for that cut across the lake, first aid kit
just in case, sickness bags for that novice passenger, maps, approach
plates for destination and alternates enroute, etc.
At big airports, be wary of jet blasts. You can be hidden from the
tower by bushes where a DC-10 would be quite visible. Following that
"10 Heavy" for takeoff, liftoff well before he rotates and slide to the
upwind direction. This avoids the wing tip vortices, which are
dangerous horizontal, tornado-like winds, shed from each wing tip.
These vortices move down and out from each tip, gradually dissipating
but remaining dangerous for up to two minutes or more... AVOID
THEM.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
There are numerous sources of information available to make your
flying not only safer but mote enjoyable as well. Of course, the number
one source is our FAA (or your country's regulating authority). F.A.R.
Part 91 covers the "General Operating and Flight Rules" for the U.S.
This document covers subjects such as the responsibilities of the pilot,
use of flight plans, fuel requirements, right-of-way rules, etc. Not
particularly enjoyable reading, but essential and educational.
