ABSTRACT

What you practice is how you will perform, because practice is what builds habits, the routine or automated manner in which we respond to situations.

Fuel management should be practiced on all flights. This includes checking the fuel on board at the start of a flight, leaning the mixture whenever the power setting is less than 75 percent and is destined to remain that way for 5 min, balancing the fuel distribution between tanks if there are two or more, and monitoring the fuel remaining.
