Do not over-tighten the oil dipstick cap when you put it back in! It's amazing how a change in temperature can make it so tight that it is extremely difficult for the next user to open it unless they have iron grip.

@AshleyWincer Год назад

Oh yes indeed. In the past I've had to use the Duchess manual gear extension key to loosen the oil dipstick sometimes..

More important etiquette while flying. Make the radio calls at an untowered airport even if you think no one is around. If you are flying a plane without an electrical system, bring along a portable radio and use it near the airport to make those radio calls. (It could save your life and others.)

@flywithaopa Год назад

Great advice!

@mothmagic1 10 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree more. That way anyone in the vicinity knows what's going on. Makes sure no one gets in the way of anyone else. Unless you're the guy who calls final five miles out and makes everyone else do circuits that cover three counties.

@AndrewFlyGuy Год назад

Agreed on all counts. ALSO, regarding the lights, leave the beacon light on. That way you can tell from a distance if you forgot to turn the Master off.

@raym8377 Год назад

The rotating beacon is supposed to indicate that the engine/prop is turning not that the master was left on.

Better title for this video would be “airplane etiquette for shared aircraft”. General Etiquette for aviation 1. Stick to standard procedures - the aircraft you are sharing the sky with are expecting you to do this in order to keep everyone safe 2. Work on making ATC comms succinct so you don’t hog the airwaves 3. I’m stretching here because 1 and 2 cover a lot, but Be polite to ATC so they don’t get grumpy with the rest of us

One I see violated at my airport all the time is stopping your plane in the middle of the runup area to do a runup. Go all the way in so people after you have room top get in too.

@fishhisy Месяц назад

If you're a hangar tenant, preflight your aircraft in the hangar, then expeditiously remove your airplane from the hangar row and out ofbthe way especially if you have an edge hangar. Dont clean your windshield in the middle of the hangar row you may block incoming aircraft that want to park. Part of a flying club doing lessons, don't sit in the hangar row doing your lesson prechecks, taxi to the end of the hangar row and allow other pilots use of taxilanes.

Not forgetting any personal items is easy if you make a checklist for it.

@johnfitzpatrick2469 Год назад

If I may: ensuring there's no water leaking or birds nesting over a hanger plane is good practice. Moreover and especially in coastal environments, place plugs into air-intakes. 🌏🇭🇲

@mothmagic1 10 месяцев назад

Just had another thought. Helicopter pilots remember you are not better than everyonene else nor do you own the sky. Use the bloody radio. I was in the circuit at Wycombe Air Park years ago and had an A109 come blasting through the circuit against the flow talking to no one. My instructor and I both said at the same time what the he'll is he doin

@dogethsamurai2390 5 месяцев назад

@calebdegard7759 Год назад

Trash, trash, trash. The little pieces of paper with clearances and weather written on them, the gum wrappers, the broken pens and pencils. . . Pilots and students take pride in the fact that you have the privilege of flying aircraft, and pack out what you packed in. And CFI's - use this as an opportunity to impress on your students that these are expensive machines with generous owners/operators that should be respected by doing the simple task of making the aircraft ready for the next mission.

Is crap ;ole this the reason they ahd to raise the dues prices? I mean, someone got paid to do this video...then actors, the production folks, the editors, etc.

@calebdegard7759 Год назад

That was a pretty brief and low budget video, bro-dangle. I bet the dues increased because we need better lawyers and advocates to Congress so we don't let these jack-a-moes take away our rights to use the skies above our great country. Give AOPA a call some time. You may find they have some pretty smart, and very nice, people to talk to who want the same thing as you.

@aviation3530 Год назад

When the non profit Pres (Mark Baker) is paid over $1 mill per/yr gotta raise dues to keep up with inflation.

@HyperSpaceProphet Год назад

@@calebdegard7759 Been a member for 10 years. I support them. But this is the sort of thing that wastes money....using OUR funds to pay some family member to do a video. Once the rot starts, it ends up like the NRA....where the advocacy becomes second to the folks in charge making lots of money.

@erickwebb1 Год назад

@@HyperSpaceProphet it was all done in-house. We do these videos for new pilots (or student pilots) who may not have the benefit of years of experience. We are using AOPA staff to help educate new aviators with the intention of helping the broader pilot community with the hope that it benefits everyone. We thought spending an hour total on recording and producing this video would more than pay for itself if it could save pilots, aircraft owners, or flight schools money because new pilots are now more educated and less likely to accidentally damage an aircraft windscreen, blast a neighboring hangar or aircraft with debris (or knock something over inside the hangar with prop blast), or need a call out for a dead battery because they simply didn't know due to a lack of experience.
