HI THERE

as i read accident reports=2C i try to implement improvements = in my behavior or aircraft to avoid the accident(s) trap

1. EXPERIENCED PILOT
=3B =3B =3B =3B&n= bsp=3B A. aircraft was being ferried and ran out of fuel (14 gallons were u= navailable in tanks)
=3B =3B =3B =3B =3B B. pilots head hit the panel (= shoulder belt off to reach fuel selector)
=3B
=3B =3B MY S= OLUTIONS =3B =3B =3B&nb= sp=3B =3B =3B =3B =3B =3B
1. =3B on my first long cross country=2C = we ran each tank dry on separate legs and then filled the tanks to the brim=
=3Bto find = out how much fuel the engine could receive from the tanks. we sat on the op= posite wing tip to get every bit of fuel into the tanks
=3B =3B =3B =3B&n= bsp=3B (draining the tanks will not tell you how much the tanks will deliver to the e= ngine)

MY ANSWER WAS 109 GALLONS-- aircraft marked 110 g= allons
= =3B&n= bsp=3B =3B =3B i use 106 gallons as my "empty"

2. installed inertia reel shoulder belts

STALL SPIN ACCIDENTS

1. i installed a AOA to aid= in avoiding the slow and too slow

2. i monitor speed in the pattern like a hawk=2C
=3B =3B =3B &= nbsp=3B =3B =3B =3B NEVER NEVER BELO= W 120 KNOTS

<= font style=3D"" color=3D"#AC193D" face=3D"Comic Sans MS"> =3B =3B&n= bsp=3B i monitor the Turn and Bank to make sure the ball is centered=

these are ones that come to = mind immediately: there are more
