Herb's Rules to Live By

 19 Mar 23:

Remember Herb's Rules to Live By:
1. Use a Checklist.
2. Look outside
3. Never fly hard IFR in a single engine aircraft

Herb flew from the age of 13 until his late 80s. The best pilot I ever flew with. Period. We sat down to discuss the top 3 things he'd emphasize when leaving Earth, and he spent some time up there, almost 40,000 hours airborne. When we flew he was the Chief Pilot for Van Bortel Aircraft, and his fingers danced around that Garmin 1000 like a virtuoso. I wasn't even sure how to power it up.

Fly Smart!

Single Pilot Procedures During Taxi Operations

Remember Herb's Rules to Live By:
1. Use a Checklist.
2. Look outside
3. Never fly hard IFR in a single engine aircraft.

Throughout the flight, use the appropriate checklist. Proper use is dependent on the
specific task being accomplished. The situation may be such that the use of the checklist
would be either unsafe or impractical, especially in single pilot operation. In this case, a
review of the checklist after the elements have been accomplished would be appropriate.
Division of attention and proper visual scanning should be considered when using a
checklist.
