MEI Training, Seneca – Any materials you wish to share?

Posted by TxAggieMike@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 5 comments

I will be undergoing MEI training soon in a Seneca. If you have any materials (and wisdom) to share, I would be appreciative of you sharing. I do have the recent BSP update which Nate included more materials directed at attaining the MEI add on. And I'm gathering up other well known sources and organizing the material One item I'd be curious to see is any checklists that you did based on the POH but of your own design versus a "store bought" like Checkmate.

Throw a couple cases of bottled water in the aft baggage compartment if just you and an instructor. If properly trimmed, you can run out of elevator travel without any rear weight. As an alternative, trim up on final and release forward pressure in the flare.

I’m teaching a friend for ME Commercial add on to glider as initial airplane Commercial in his own Seneca. I googled and found several different maneuvers guides. No one document seems perfect, but a “by the numbers” approach is a good start. The A in PAST is “accelerated slipstream.” Throttle changes cause large changes in lift. Too much throttle action in the pattern makes for an easily unstable approach. Have fun!

I've been a big fan of the small version of the 1 page checkmate checklists because they fit in the back of the Bose a20 headset bag and they're all based on the POH and have reference speeds
