So, lets suppose that you have hundreds of hours of accumulated time in C-172 and PA28-180?s. Lets also suppose that due to building and bad weather, your flying skills are rusty (but still FAA current).
What do you do for practicing proficiency in order to get ready for the first flight in an RV-9a? I'm primarily interested in the first 10 hours while new engine break in, new aircraft glitches, etc are all happening.
(let me fill in the blanks for the first three answers)
What else do you guys do in a C-172 or PA28-180 to prepare? What skills? What proficiency tests do you practice? When do you know that you are ready?
