Got my private in 2011, passed my instrument ride today. It was a harrowing experience

I wear a disposable nitrile glove when I'm doing preflight so 100LL doesn't touch my skin when I'm sumping fuel or whatever. I've never seen anyone else do it.

The 40, 42, 50, and 62 all run jet A (or brand new ones anyway). The 42/50/62 also have fadec. So the multis are single power lever. And they have long wings that don't fit in 40ft T hangars. And probably a bunch of other weird quirks too.

Fake answer, push lever receive FADEC

I'm a dumb fixed pitch pilot as well and I'm curious about this, and also how one determines they are at X% power, like "I cruise at WOT 70% power" (???)

I am average size and I sit very high up and all the way forward or else I feel like I have to move around to see over the nose and extend my feet all the way on the pedals. The way some people sit I can't imagine how they can use the controls smoothly or see anything.
