One of the things we used to do in the Air Force was perform a blind cockpit check, and you say, well, what is that all about?

We are creatures of habits and when we're reaching out with our hands for a switch, if we hit the wrong switch we're in a world of hurt.

So it might be interesting to just challenge yourself. Sit there with a friend or with a flight instructor and close your eyes and see how close you come to finding fuel selectors, mixtures, and flaps and gear because if you hit the wrong one, you are in a world of hurt.
