Q

Common cross check errors

A
  • fixation, applying full attention on a single instrument .
  • omission, exclusion of one or more secondary instrument for given task.

Emphasis, relying on an instrument that you really understand. Even when it provides inadequate information for given task.

Q

Control and Performance Method

A
  • Control, Performance, Navigation
  • use control instruments by accurately establishing a specific attitude and power setting.
  • performance instruments will indicate how the airplane will responds to altitude and power setting.
  • navigations displays where the airplane is.
