Fun to watch students try and start without the electric pump on. If engine is cold, it just takes a few extra cranks. But if you prime, things work fine. On a warm engine, electric pump isn't needed on an carb based low wing I've flown. Somehow, just about when you think students are actually checking what they do against a checklist, then they forget to use that electric pump. So I've found they just help a little, but are not totally necessary for starting.

Now Lloyd, you're not supposed to land that way. Puts flat spots in the tires /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Look out the front window doesn't mean the one in front of you, it is supposed to be the one between you and the prop /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Ahhh, so, that's the trick!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
When I fly with a student that's getting close to checkride time, or an advanced student, it's sooo easy to get distracted by things like birds and trucks....
I feel like Homer Simpson sometimes! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
