A.P 2095, PILOT'S NOTES GENERAL,  PROMULGATED BY ORDER OF THE AIR COUNCIL ,  2ND Edition , April 1943. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Preface

PILOT's NOTES GENERAL consists of a collection of Notes for pilots of operational aircraft, supplementing the information contained in the Pilot's Notes for each type. Pilot's Notes General have been issued from time to time since June 1941, and have now been revised and rearranged in convenient order and grouping in this Second Edition, together with some additional Notes.

Some of the Notes are applicable to all operational aircraft, entirely or with some modification on account of the special features of a type. These Notes should be read by all pilots. The information may have been absorbed in previous training, but new points may well be learnt. Moreover, views on the best practice are continually being revised and these Notes should be used to get the latest and most authoritative statement at the time of issue.

Other Notes deal with special features, such as the tricycle undercarriage, and with special equipment, e.g. automatic pilots, which will be met on a Number of types. The pilot who is to fly for the first time with a Sperry Gyropilot will find all he needs to know about it in one of these Notes and not in the Notes for the type of aircraft he is flying.

The issue of Pilot's Notes General as a companion to Pilot's Notes for the various types of aircraft, has made it possible to shorten the latter considerably and so avoid burdening the reader with a mass of matter with which he may be quite familiar, while keeping this material equally available when needed.
