Do I have any symptoms of illness?
Am I on any new prescription or over-the-counter medication?
Am I under any stress? Could this affect my decision-making?
Is anyone I'm flying with under the influence?
Am I fatigued? Did I get adequate rest?
When was the last time I ate? Do I have good nutrition/exercise so that I won't get tired on the flight?

Am I current? Am I proficient? Do I feel comfortable flying in this weather? Did I check my personal weather minimums?

Did I check for NOTAMs, weather, known delays, runways, alternates available, fuel requirements, and takeoff/landing distances?]]> 2021-12-09 06:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/117jonathanevans/ni0i6fojkfd4iadv/wish/1937504403 Aircraft capability 117jonathanevans https://padlet.com/117jonathanevans/ni0i6fojkfd4iadv/wish/1937507733 Is my plane rated for icing? What can my plane do if it encounters icing?

Is this wind above the crosswind component for this plane?

Will I be able to climb fast enough to clear this obstacle?

Can my plane reach that altitude? Is it equipped with oxygen?

Is it within my personal minimums?
