NOTE
All airspeeds quoted in this section are indi-
cated airspeeds (KIAS) and assume zero instrument
error. Each aircraft should be calibrated to deter-
mine its specific error for various configurations.
A Pacer

NOTE
The following check-lists are presented to
capture in a compact format those pilot tasks requir-
ing rapid action. These checklists should be kept
handy for ready access by the pilot, and he should
familiarize him/herself with them before flying the
aircraft. Knowledge of the switches, control, gauge,
etc. location quickly, even blindfolded, is highly
desirable. “Cockpit time” prior to ever flying or
after an absence is time prudently spent. Where
more time would be likely available, rationale will
be added and alternative choices offered. It must
be remembered however that each situation will be
unique in some manner and must be treated as such.
