While we all love flying, there are times when there is not a whole lot to do in the cockpit. Once you have climbed to your cruise altitude and configured the airplane for cruise you may ask yourself “what’s next?” After you’ve enjoyed the view for a while, the idle time in cruise is a perfect opportunity to review emergency procedures.

- Pilots should utilize idle time during cruise flight to mentally review emergency procedures.
