Paul Tomascik, a CFI from Ottawa, Ontario in Canada, shares this idea: “One of the easiest and most effective ways to practice system transitions in a plane that you are unfamiliar with or one that you’re rusty in is to take a picture of the panel with your iPad and chair fly with the screen-shot in front of you. It’s a great way to apply check-list flows and hone muscle memory skills for emergency procedures.
I just transitioned to a Super Decathlon and it is amazing how daily drills using this method make your cockpit commands more crisp.”
