Anyway.....it looks to me like the IP needs a complete checkout in this
airplane before flying it. His questions just seem way out of line for
someone taking delivery of an airplane they are rated and competent to
fly!
Sorry about the mispost :-)

I don't wish to sound like a smartass here, but what's your problem
with
getting a full checkout in this airplane from a competent pilot
current
in the aircraft?
It sounds like you might benefit from a bit of complex training
here!!!

I wondered the same thing, but you're replying to the wrong person.
I'm a
student and GE posted the original question.

Cheers!



I applaud the original poster. He said, " I have only flown fixed
props thus far. I want to have as much
understanding of the c-s prop as possible before I get with my
instructor." He's trying to learn a little something in advance so he
doesn't start completely cold with the instructor. He is seeking
complex training and proactively preparing in advance for that
training.

You hope!!!

Could be, and most likely it's an ok scenario, but the correct answer I
believe is still to tell him to get the checkout; at least tell him this
along with supplying the data requested.
This is one of the drawbacks of aviation Usenet. You never know if
someone is taking a "shortcut" or seeking a head start going in the
right direction. You are probably right, but I notice that no one
answering this poster suggested that he get the checkout along with
supplying the data requested. :-)

Granted, he could be lying to us. But he did write "get with my
instructor". Admittedly, this is imprecise, but I took it to mean "...for
a checkout".

So did I. I just believe that as important as any pre check flight prep
might be, the actual check flight and checkout procedure is far more
important to emphasize in the answer, as it relates to a specific
aircraft!

God forbid someone is PROACTIVE enough to do the THEORY portion in
advance of the practical portion of instruction. I hope you wouldnt
consider me as trying to shortcut things because I had passed my private
written and was reading on instrument and commercial before I EVER took
my first lesson.

As usual with posts like yours; you have missed the point and read into
your comment something you wanted to see rather than what was actually
there.
No one is saying in any shape or form that proactive or theory work is a
negative. In fact, proactive and theory work are IMPERATIVE to success
in flying.
There's only one issue here, and that issue concerns the fact that the
initial poster didn't state the specific aircraft he was getting ready
to transition into. This should have been a red flag to pilots answering
his request for information.
The CORRECT response to his post in my opinion, since he didn't state
aircraft type, is either to simply point him to the checkout procedure,
or, if you want to address his questions specifically, at least find out
what he's flying before offering answers.
In my case, I don't offer generic answers when specific answers are
called for. It's that simple, and has absolutely nothing to do with
being opposed to theory and proactive work.
