Navigation
Whether a correction is necessary is determined by visually comparing the
landscape with the map. It is incredibly easy to get off track and very difficult to
get back, so you must constantly orient yourself so that you do not suddenly lose
your orientation.
9.11.3.3 Fuel level
During the flight, there should be a balance in the fuel level, which is why you
need to switch between the tanks, unless the aircraft's fuel selector has a
position where it takes from both tanks simultaneously.
If the fuel selector is not set to “BOTH”, it is possible to fly a tank empty. Then it
is nice to have a nice long field to land on/in, so that you can get the selector set
to the right position!
9.11.3.4 Distribution of work in the cockpit
If there are several people on the
plane, it can be an advantage to
distribute the workload among
them. The distribution must of
course be done in the most
appropriate way, so that you do
what you do best.
It will always be a matter of discretion, but you could imagine that one person is
responsible for radio communication, while another takes care of navigation.
If you are alone on the plane, it is very important that you have made clear
before starting the flight what you want to say/do when, so that you are not
suddenly surprised and perhaps are getting disorientated.
