CO-PILOT CHECKLIST – N1351E

Welcome! Before our flight, please read and become familiar with all aspects of
this checklist. In any case, it will be helpful, but it will be essential knowledge in
case of the extremely unlikely event of an emergency. Please note, that the pilot-
in-command (PIC) is responsible and in charge of all aspects of this flight. Do not
touch the controls or any aircraft systems unless explicitly permitted by the PIC.

“SAFETY”
Seatbelts and Shoulder Harnesses
Become familiar with how your seatbelt and shoulder harness is operated. To
remove your seatbelt, pull up on the latch that goes across your lap, just like on
an airliner. Be sure to remove the shoulder harness from across your chest and
your arms when exiting.
Air Vents
Your air vent is located behind, and to the right of, the sun visor in front and
above you. Pull the air vent outward and rotate the open slot to you for airflow.
Fire Extinguisher
The fire extinguisher is mounted on the floor between the pilot and co-pilot seats.
Do NOT operate the fire extinguisher, even if there is a fire, unless explicitly
commanded to by the PIC.
Emergency Exits
The nearest emergency exit to you is located to your right. To open the door, pull
the silver latch all the back towards you, and push out.
Traffic
It is our responsibility to be on the lookout for other planes. If you see another
aircraft in our vicinity, quietly and calmly point it out to me.
Emergency Exits
The nearest emergency exit to you is located to your right. To open your door,
pull the silver latch all the back towards you, and push out.
Your Questions
Please ask any and all questions at any time during the flight.

FEELING AIRSICK?
Upon feeling airsick or even slightly uncomfortable, do the following…
- Alert the PIC. Part of our training is alleviating passengers who are
beginning to feel airsick. The body functions differently at different
altitudes, so please alert the PIC as soon as you possible can.
- Look into the distance. Most airsickness is caused by focusing too
closely inside of the aircraft. Looking at the horizon will often help
alleviate airsickness. Don’t read or use your phone.
- Create airflow. Open the air vent and get a stream of cool air blowing
on you. The thin, hot, Florida air isn’t the friendliest.
- Drink water. If you brought a water bottle, take a few sips when we
are in non-turbulent air.

FLIGHT PROCEDURES
For our safety, please read and understand the following guidelines. In any
situation, DO NOT PANIC, all will be well!
- Please be silent and keep your hands clear of the aircraft controls
and systems during all critical phases of flight. This includes takeoff,
climb, descent, landing, and some portions of cruise.
- Do not rest your feet on the floor pedals at any time. This can alter
the steering and braking of the aircraft.
- Do not store any objects on the floor in front of you. Please place all of
your personal belongs on the bench behind you, or in the cargo area.
- Radio communications can be received at any time. When we are
receiving or transmitting on the radio, please stay silent.
- If you feel uncomfortable at any phase of the flight, alert the PIC
immediately. Feel free to ask any questions of any kind during any
non-critical phase of flight. If a response is not furnished immediately,
please save the question for when we get back on the ground.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the event of an emergency, follow any and all directions of the PIC,
immediately. Please, only attempt to help if help is requested. Statistically, nearly
all aircraft that declare an emergency are able to resolve it safely, with no injuries.
By following the below instructions, we can maximize our potential for a safe
resolution of any emergency…
EMERGENCY LANDING
- Ensure that your seatbelt and shoulder harness is fastened and tight.
- Remove any jackets or sweaters and ball them up to place in front of
your face in the case of heavy landing.
- When the aircraft is about to touch the ground, force open your exit
door and hold it open until the aircraft touches down. Only do this in
an emergency.
- Follow any and all instructions issued to you by the PIC.
INCAPACITED PILOT
- Ensure that the pilot is truly incapacitated.
- If that is the case, do not touch any other aircraft controls other than the
control wheel. Use the control wheel to keep the aircraft flying towards
the horizon. Keep it nice and easy, and make no sudden movements.
- Using the GPS display, turn the outer knob on the left until the bottom
number reads “121”. Turn the inner knob until it says “.500”.
- Once the bottom row of numbers on the top left of the GPS screen says
“121.500”, press the button with the “C↕”. Once the top row of
numbers says “121.500”, press the “COMM2 MIC” key on the audio
panel.
- Use the radio transmit button on the control wheel to talk over the radio.
Act calmly and be descriptive, they can help you in any situation.
