D: Raised the Probability of there Being a Collision
Progressive Taxi
ATC will guide you through an airport like a Garmin (lol)
Hot Spots
An area where multiple someone’s had incursions
Complex Intersections
More than 5 Taxiways leading to one center location
Night Operations
Try to avoid blinding pilots with taxi and strobe lights (turn off when not needed)

Upwind: climb to 300 under pattern Alt (1500)
Crosswind: Pattern Altitude climb (1800), pull power back as you level
Downwind: maintain 90 knots (usually 2150)
@ 1,000 ft marker pull power back 1500 and flaps 110, descend (500-600ft descent)
Base: 45 degrees to line of sight 75 knots, flaps 20, (just a bit of power to prevent sinking)
Final: Line up with Centerline, Nose down to descend, eyes on landing point.
Ailerons Where when Landing?
Into the Wind, use rudder to stay on centerline
When Landing Constantly Ask…
Am I….?
High
Low
Or
ON Glide Slope
Am I…?
Too Slow
Too Fast
Or Sinking
Call Out at 200ft
Stabilized Continue
Or
Unstabalized Go Around
On Roll Out
Reduce Speed gradually, Ideally Power Idle at Touchdown, Yoke Pull back until Dash is Over Horizon
Go Around
Full Power and Pitch up
Flaps 20 immediately
Over 60 w/ + rate of climb (flaps 10)
Over 65 (flaps up)
Call Go Around Runway blank
remain left closed
Different Types of Operations:
- Full Stop: not going to return (day is finished)
- Touch and Go (touch down and take off again)
