5 Things That Can Kill You While You Are Still On The Ground

[@robertthrailkill1368]

“Focus on your preflight” is the single best piece of advice that we often don’t appreciate. Especially if you have passengers. First is the passengers talk to you and distract and interrupt the preflight. Second, if you have passengers then you owe it to them absolutely do a detailed preflight.

Keep these coming. Simple and great info.

[@MyWTFName]

We need more videos like this on the reality of human nature, rather than all the KZbin influencers who live such "perfection" of "faultless" piloting with over-edited and over-planned content.

Great, eye opening insight. Thank you for sharing your faults and lessons learned.

[@flyingkub]

Always good advice, even if you are current.

Thanks, Ted! I was just telling someone about my failure to do the I'M SAFE checklist...on my Private checkride, with the examiner. What I had chalked up to nervous excitement and energy turned out to be the flu and. later, a 103° F fever. One super sucky landing and a failed checkride later, I was happy that lesson wasn't far, far more expensive.

Solid advice.

[@PaulGarthAviation]

Solid advice, Ted. I love the reminder of externalizing stuff from your mind and being objective - checklists; IMSAFE; weather. When I was doing preflight, I would also be frequently interrupted. My rule was to reverse back 3 items after each interruption and start over again. A bit extreme, maybe, but the passengers eventually got the idea. LOL!

Awesome!

I fly 3-4 times a week, maybe not long flights 30-60 minutes but I do go out and regularly practice maneuvers, slow flight, stalls, etc. every couple of weeks. I am basically always ready for a BFR...

[@CaptainChaooooos]

Great points man.

We live and die by the checklist

# 6 - The emotional baggage that you experience wanting to be in the air again.

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Yes - bad decisions because we want to go flying ! Thanks for watching!

[@muhammadsteinberg]

Taxi with towbar. If you screw it up just right you can taxi to take-off with fuel selector in off position. Somebody I know extremely well has done those.

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Yes I’ve seen the photos on social media of Cessna 172 is taking off with the towbar firmly attached to the front wheel. Thanks for watching!

And stay away from the end that BITES!

[@michaelroby6538]

Basics…save lives.

[@ZubairKhan-vs8fe]

Only one thing can kill you. Your negligence also known as lack of airmanship

[@bradmercier8267]

Kind of long winded.... just get to the story please.
