| This chapter is devoted to the factors associated with,
and the basic operating practices applicable to, a pilot checkout on airplanes
which have significantly different flight characteristics, performance
capabilities, and operating procedures from those airplanes which the pilot
has previously flown. Accident records indicate that some pilots take unnecessary
risks when they attempt to fly a different type of airplane without familiarizing
themselves with its peculiarities, limitations, and systems. A knowledge
and observance of the basic practices discussed in this chapter may save
many lives and unnecessary accidents.
