Re: Where Can I Find Out About The "Flight Talk" In The Background Of "Learning To Fly&qu

This is a recording of Nick Mason in the cockpit of an airplane, checking his instruments before takeoff. Some person managed to work out most of what is said:

Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich.
Propellors - fully forward.
Flaps - set - 10 degrees.
Engine guages and suction - check.
Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck.
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both.
Engine gauge - on.
Navigation lights - on.
Strobes - on.
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure.
(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4.
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo.
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...
(VROOOOOOM)
