Always assume the engine is ready to fire with even a slight movement of the propeller. Thanks, Karl. Automation fixation A recent FLYING LESSON concerned loss of basic flying skills as a result of training emphasis on avionics at the expense of stick-and-rudder skills, and over-reliance on autopilot…
