  12. Flight following is NOT a substitute for a VFR flight plan. ATC = traffic separation. A flight plan provides search and rescue services.
  13. @kevinrjacoby A Yaw Damper is like 'Auto Coordination' Can be a great tool, but when used in training promote bad stick and rudder skills
  14. Unless you use a Yaw Damper - ANYTIME you move the yoke, you move a pedal. Rolling INTO and OUT OF turns. Slower speeds require more input.
