The following is a list of priorities that apply to any situation encountered in flight. Pilots
must adhere to these priorities during every flight.
The number one priority of the pilot is to maintain aircraft control. Pilots should maintain
a high level of vigilance during periods of high and low workload to ensure aircraft
control is always maintained.
Aviate
The following is a list of priorities that apply to any situation encountered in flight. Pilots
must adhere to these priorities during every flight.
Once aircraft control is assured, pilots should set and verify the avionics are correctly
configured for navigation. This task includes programming GPS units and/or analog
flight instruments. Use of an autopilot may assist the pilot with accomplishing these
tasks. Pilots should closely monitor flight parameters while programming various
avionics equipment.
Navigate
The following is a list of priorities that apply to any situation encountered in flight. Pilots
must adhere to these priorities during every flight.
Communication is an important task in the aircraft but follows aircraft control and
navigation as a priority. Communicate intentions and relay instructions clearly to ATC
and the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) while maintaining aircraft contro

Once clear of
obstacles and terrain, normal climbs are performed, ________
flaps UP and full power at speeds 5
to 10 knots higher than best rate-of-climb speeds
When desired and clear of
obstacles, you will transition to _______ for increased engine cooling,
visibility, and passenger comfort.
cruise climb speed
Climbs at speeds lower than the best rate-of-climb speed should be of short duration to
avoid ______
engine cooling problems.
Use caution when engaging the autopilot at low altitude due to the increased
workload of programming the autopilot and potential for human errors. Hand fly
the aircraft to a safe altitude and engage the autopilot if desired when time and
workload permit.

Consider setting the autopilot bugs prior to departure to reduce the amount of
workload associated with setting up and engaging the autopilot.

The recommended turn altitude after takeoff is _____,unless obstacle departure
procedures or ATC instructions dictate otherwise.
