Hello VAF,
I took a flight with a CFI in my -10 last week to get started working on the maneuvers for my commercial ticket. Unfortunately he was of little use in the -10. I was hopeful someone would have a some tips and tricks. Preferred power settings, etc. for this task. When we took off I did not have a maneuver checklist thinking that he would have the knowledge to guide me through the maneuvers. My new plan is to create a checklist for each maneuver to take with me while I practice myself. Any knowledge you can provide is appreciated. Here is my rough draft based on what I found here.
Thanks,
Tim
