The following is a list of different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to talk to you,
with specific reference to the Cherokee you are flying.
Cold and Dark
[On ground with no engine running and parking brake off]
Advice to set parking brake.
[Shortly after flight starts on ground with master battery on]
Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.
Starting Engine
[Engine start attempted with master battery switch off]
Advice that the master battery switch must be on when starting the engine.
[Engine start attempted with fuel pump off]
Advice that the fuel pump must be on when starting the engine.
[Engine start attempted and mixture control not correctly set]
Advice that mixture control should be full rich when starting the engine.
[Engine start attempted and throttle not set]
Advice that throttle should open about ¼ to ½ inch when starting.
[Engine start attempted and parking brake not set]
Warning that parking brake must be set when starting the engine.
[Engine start attempted and fullest fuel tank not selected]
Reminder that fuel selector needs to be on fullest tank (left or right) when starting the engine.
[Shortly after moving in taxi mode]
Advice on which instruments and systems should be checked during taxiing.
Take Off
[Shortly after entering takeoff mode]
Advice to set flaps normally up, or with 10 or 25 degrees for a short field.
[Take off mode and pilot just selected too much flaps]
Advice to set flaps normally up, or with 10 or 25 degrees for a short field.
[Shortly after beginning takeoff]
Advice to move throttle smoothly up to full.
[Shortly after beginning takeoff]
Advice that the nose wheel can be lifted at 60 MPH.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Reminder that this aircraft’s ‘vX’ (Best Angle of Climb Speed) is 76 MPH at sea level. Use this speed to clear runway obstacles or to lift off from a soft field quickly.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Reminder that this aircraft’s ‘vY’ (Best Rate of Climb Speed) is 85 MPH at sea level. Use this speed to climb after takeoff in normal operations.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Reminder that in this aircraft you should normally turn with a 20 degree bank and when doing so you will want to rollout about 20 degrees before your desired heading.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Advice that if you encounter heavy turbulence you need to be at or below maneuvering speed (‘vA’) and to remember that this will decrease as you burn fuel.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Advice to use right rudder to correct for any unwanted yawing to the left caused by P factor and torque.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Advice to get any take-off flaps retracted.
[Shortly after takeoff]
Advice that in "cruise climb" in this aircraft you should normally fly at 100 MPH - and this gives good vision over the nose.
Cruise
[Entering cruise mode]
Advice to cruise with around 75% power, 2500 to 2600 RPM and consider leaning mixture above 3,000 feet MSL and certainly above 5,000 feet MSL.
[Above maximum altitude]
Advice to descend below 16,000 feet.
Descent and Landing
[Descending and below maximum flap speed while landing]
Advice that once below 115 MPH the pilot may lower 10 degrees of flaps.
[Descent to landing and mixture not set]
Advice that mixture must be at full rich for descent to landing.
[Descending and decelerating to maximum flap speed while landing]
Advice that once below 115 MPH the pilot may lower 10 degrees of flaps.
[Descending and decelerating to 112 MPH while landing]
Advice that once below 112 MPH the pilot may lower 25 degrees of flaps.
[Descending and decelerating to 109 MPH while landing]
Advice that once below 109 MPH the pilot may lower 40 degrees of flaps.
[Descent to around 600 feet AGL while landing]
Advice to use pitch to control airspeed and power to control rate of descent during approach and landing.
[Descent to around 500 feet AGL while landing]
Advice that you typically want to approach around 76 MPH with 40 degrees flaps and touch down around 58 MPH.
[Descent to around 400 feet AGL while landing]
Reminder to flare at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway and to lift the nose to land on your main gear first, lower the nose gently and use minimum braking required.
[Descent to around 300 feet AGL while landing]
Reminder that at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway you should reduce power to idle and flare.
Taxi In
[Flaps not fully retracted]
Reminder to get flaps up.
[Fuel pump on]
Advice to turn off the fuel pump.
[Carburetor heat on]
Advice to turn off carburetor heat.
[Pitot heat on]
Reminder to turn pitot heat off.
Shut Down
[Flaps not fully retracted]
Reminder to get flaps up.
[Avionics master switch on]
Reminder to turn off avionics master switch.
[Mixture control not cutoff]
Reminder to cut off the mixture control.
[Ignition key not off]
Reminder to turn key counterclockwise to OFF.
[Panel lights on]
Advice to turn off panel lights.
[Alternator on]
Advice to turn off alternator.
[Master battery on]
Advice to turn off master battery.
General Warnings and Advice
[Primer being used with engine off]
Advice that up to three strokes of the engine primer can be used before starting.
[Primer being used with engine on]
Advice that primer is not used when engine is already running.
[Engine running on ground and below 800 RPM]
Advice to maintain at least 800 RPM to avoid fouling the sparkplugs.
[Engine off and pitot heat on]
Advice to turn off pitot heat.
[Airborne and parking brake on ]
Warning that parking brake needs to be off.
[Carburetor heat on and on ground and not performing run up]
Advice that normal operation requires carburetor heat off unless landing or attempting to clear suspected carburetor icing.
[Pitot heat off and not taxiing and OAT below 40° F (4° C)]
Reminder to use pitot heat when OAT (outside air temperature) is below 40° F (4° C).
[Pitot heat on and taxiing or OAT not below 40° F (4° C)]
Reminder to turn off pitot heat when taxiing or when OAT (outside air temperature) is at or above 40° F (4° C).

Reminder to turn pump off.

Warning that total fuel is below 10 percent and you may wish to consider your refueling options.
[Master battery just switched on]
Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.
