Pre-takeoff checklist
I feel this is a valuable lesson for new pilots so I’ll post here.
People, when fueling your plane at a self serve fuel pump and you see someone pull up behind you, please kindly pull your plane forward and out of the way if you’re going to get in and do your 10 minute checklist before starting the engine and 5 minute checklist before releasing the brakes. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit but please please please, just pull your plane forward and out of the way if you plan to do all that before taxiing your plane. Especially, if there’s only one gas pump. Thanks in advance.
