I wouldn't go that far. We are also building good habits and attitudes
for the future. One day we may be flying jet aircraft, who knows? The
attitudes you start out with are likely to be the attitudes you end up
with, and the skills you learn from day one are the ones that come back
to you in an emergency.

I have posted almost exactly the same comments here in the past. Of
course, you are correct. The "recommended" entries are really mandatory
for jet aircraft operating at the max permitted speeds. And, so forth.

However, yes, there is plenty of room in the hold for a spam can.

Exactly.
