      @@ticenits1926 no its to make sure the rigging adjustments in the flight controls matches the control inputs. One mechanic made a fatal mistake when he adjusted the elevator cable to the extreme end and the elevators were adjusted in the up elevator region. The pilot never asked the copilot to check the elevator or other surfaces for full deflection in the up and down level. The aircraft ended up pitching up, then stalling into a turn spin and crashed outside a hanger and killed many people aboard.

    I have piloted fixed wing in real world. I have also piloted a Bell 206 simulator. The instructor always had the “engine “ at max governed RPM when I stepped into the sim. I read the manual about startup and shutdown, but I never had to perform those operations. That saved time in the sim for flying, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have also been a passenger in real world in a 206. It was quite fascinating and educational. Thanks for your video. I’m an old man now. Living vicariously has its advantages.
