About other situations . . .

Im talking about like how they can mess with your gauges during ground run-up and other situations. Just trying to get a feel of what to look out for. Thanks
This goes back over a decade, but here were some challenges I used to pull while in the area:
Pull the PCL back during the climbout after the second or third ATS. The big six need to happen pretty quick.
Give a streaming fuel or fuel fumes EP while in the landing pattern. (After you have seen your first PPEL in the pattern.) The habit pattern for a PPEL in the pattern is to "Turn Climb Clean" but with streaming fuel or fuel fumes, you need to leave the gear down or you get the old "Boom, you just set us on fire."
Pull the PCL for an engine failure after you have just passed over a good field, ie. the field is right under your right or left wing and you won't see it at first glance. Keeping track of where the good emergency fields are as you fly along helps you beat that one.
Yes, the old "slave the compass off" is an old standard, as is the prop overspeed test button held in.
Best of luck. Keep studying those EP's and checklist details.
