Behind the Prop

E052 - Every Switch & Every Gauge

Episode Summary

Professional pilots are not allowed to fly until they can explain in detail the function of every single switch in the cockpit. As general aviation pilots, we should follow the same rules. Before we take flight in a new (to us) airplane, we should understand how every flight control, button, switch, knob, gauge, and warning light in the cockpit works! On this week's episode of the podcast we discuss a few commonly misunderstood items in the cockpit... including the audio panel, circuit breakers, and fuel gauges.
