- right aileron up
- left aileron down
- Controls to the left:
- left aileron up
- right aileron down
- Pull controls to the chest:
- Elevator raises
- Push the column
- Elevator moves down

SET and CHECK flight instruments:
- Turn to the right
- numbers in DG increase
- turn coordinator indicates a turn to the right
- ball slips to the left
- compass moves freely and indicates increasing numbers, has no bubbles and moves freely.

- Turn to the left:
     - numbers in DG decrease
     - turn coordinator indicates a turn to the left
         - ball slips to the right
      - compas moves freely and indicates decreasing numbers, has no bubbles and moves freely

Airspeed indicator:
- shows zero
Horizaon
- level
- within limits: +/- 5º of bank
Altimeter

Turn coordinator
- wings level and ball is centered
HSI

If possible:
- check equipement on ground with a VOR/DME whose identification is well known
- identification will be acceptable if it is within 4º

• Adjust radial or course to fly the instrumental departure
• Enter xponder code
• review altitude/level to which we’ve been cleared
