In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The necessary controls for this mission will be as follows: Throttle - A black knob - When pushed forward, the engine is at full throttle and when pulled full back, the engine is idling. Fuel Mixture - A red knob - Pushed full inward is the richest mixture (used for sea level takeoffs and landings), while full back is engine off. Only pull the red knob full out when you are on the ground and ready to shut down the engine. Carburetor Heat - Used to warm the engine air intake in icing conditions and on long descents with engine at idle - conditions where a cold engine with cold air could cause icing. Note that, for all practical purposes, this has to be either full-on or full-off. Flaps - A flat handled switch to select the wing flap positions. This will be used for slowing the aircraft to a safe speed in preparation for landing the aircraft. Note that the flaps should be advanced notch-by-notch, one position (10) at a time. Fuel tank select - A Cessna 172 would almost always be set on "Both Tanks." Steering wheel (Yoke) - This sets the attitude (climb and turn) and the speed of the aircraft. Use small pitch adjustments, in and out for pitch (to climb or descend). Turn the yoke left and right to bank the aircraft. Engine RPM is used for setting engine speed (power) for climbing, descending, and/or landing. Rudder Pedals - These are operated by your feet. Press the top edge of the pedals and the brakes are applied. (Of course, this only has an effect when you are on the ground.) Pressing the lower part of the pedals allows steering while on the runway and helps do quality turns in the air. You will also use the lower part of the rudder pedals to stay lined up with the runway while on final approach. Control trim - There are two trim wheels in the panel which, when adjusted properly, give you almost hands-off control. You will not be using these in an emergency. Be aware too, if you do try to use them to trim for landing, you may not have enough pitch control to gain altitude quickly in case of a go-around. You would have to re-trim in case of a go-around, but it is way better to just stay away from these controls and consider them off limits. The six instruments will be located in the following order: Top left - The "Airspeed Indicator" shows aircraft airspeed, usually in knots. (A knot is one nautical mile per hourabout 1.15 MPH or 1.85km/hr). Top center - The "Artificial Horizon" shows the aircraft attitude, that is, how the plane is inclined in all directionswhether the plane is climbing or descending and how it is banking - left or right. Top right - The "Altimeter" shows the height (altitude) of the aircraft, in feet MSLfeet above mean, or average, sea level. Lower left - The "Turn and Bank Indicator" is a dual instrument which tells how fast you are changing the compass heading (rate of turn) and also whether you are in co-ordinated flight, feeling the proper (down-in-the-seat) Gs from the turn. This is also called the "Turn and Slip Indicator" or "Needle Ball." Lower center is the "Heading Indicator" which shows the current compass heading. Keep in mind that small amounts of friction in the heading gyro dictate that this instrument be calibrated on an ongoing basis. This is explained below in the calibration procedure. Lower right is the "Vertical Speed Indicator" which tells how fast you are going higher or lower. It gives the rate of descent (or climb) in feet per minute. Zero means that you are maintaining altitude and are neither climbing nor descending.
Summary: Study the the aircraft controls. Familiarize yourself with the six pack.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's best to have a plan for how you will introduce yourself so you don't get lost or confused when you're on stage. It's even better if you can write your plan down so you can review it beforehand or refer to it during your presentation. You can write down every sentence if you'd like, especially for practicing the introduction. When it's time to present, it's probably best to just write down a few notes or key words to remind you of what you want to say so you don't just read off your note cards. Practicing your introduction out loud will help you speak with the right intonation and at the right pace so your message will be clear and interesting. You can also time yourself and add or remove certain parts of your introduction until you've got it just right. Ask your friend for constructive feedback and advice on how to improve. Practicing out loud will also help you gain confidence. If you don't have a friend to watch your presentation, record yourself on video and play it back later to refine your presentation skills. It can be uncomfortable to watch yourself on video, but it will help you nail your introduction. You can even record your whole presentation. Keep recording and re-recording until you are happy with it. Then you know the audience will be happy too. You will want to make a good first impression with your introduction, so be sure you know what is expected of you and what might be frowned upon. Research the local culture where you will be speaking: what do they normally wear in the industry there? Do they introduce themselves by first name only, or with their first and last name? Be mindful of international customs too. In some places, it's not appropriate to use humor. If you are unsure about your audience, leave the humor out. The best resource to learn about the local culture is the locals themselves. If you have a contact where you will be speaking, ask them about customs, dress code, and how humor is usually received. If you don't know anyone personally, try searching in industry-specific online forums. Find YouTube videos of presentations given in the area that are relevant to your industry.
Summary:
Make a plan and write it down. Rehearse your introduction with a friend. Research the culture where you will present so you don't offend anyone.
