You would be surprised at how many students have been taught to
simulate trying the starter after an engine failure and how many don't
switch fuel tanks at the 1st sign of an engine failure.


I had a tank run dry unexpectedly on me; I've never seen myself hit the
mixture, carb heat, fuel selector, fuel pump, and have my hand on the
mags so fast! It was =way= different from the simulations my CFI pulled.
