As the UND Aerospace fleet continues its transition to the Cessna-172, exacting standardization across our large group of flight instructors and students is the main concern of the flight department. The latest episode entitled “Checklist Procedures and Resource Management” is designed to start every UND pilot off on the right foot the first time they show up to fly these brand-new airplanes. Using this episode in conjunction with the expanded checklist procedures from the UND C-172 standardization manual will be the perfect primer for any pilot getting ready to fly the Cessna.

As you watch the video, don’t be afraid to pause along the way in order to study different animated flows and checklist procedures. If you are a student new to the C-172, use this video in conjunction with the UND Aerospace online checklist procedures trainer so that you have your flows down by the time you show up for your first lesson. Knowing all of your flows will make your first flight smoother and a lot more fun.
