The actual flight engineer monitors his work, helping Anderson follow the checklists for flight preparation and takeoff. Throughout the 10-hour training flight, Lt. Anderson will be required to operate a multitude of engine controls and to monitor instruments on a variety of engine functions. Throughout the flight, his pilot and flight engineer watch over his work, correcting mistakes and reminding him of necessary actions.
