Is this an encyclopedic topic?

{{Archive top|result=Merged and redirected to Airmanship|status=closed}}

I think this article is really on the subject of "how to fly an aircraft" and falls afoul of WP:NOTMANUAL, which says {{tq|Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not an instruction manual, guidebook, or textbook}} - Ahunt (talk) 21:28, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

:I agree that it doesn’t look like an appropriate page for Wikipedia. It looks to me like a 3-line checklist suitable to be memorised by pilots. If this one warrants its own page on Wikipedia so too do all similar checklists such as “Brakes, undercarriage, mixture, flaps, “ etc. Dolphin (t) 03:09, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

::Well to be fair we have those, too: List of aviation mnemonics, but perhaps we shouldn't. - Ahunt (talk) 12:39, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

:::It's not a check list as such, more a saying and a basic piloting principle. It comes under airmanship and could probably be redirected there though that article doesn't have defined structure. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 14:11, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

::::Actually merging it into Airmanship makes a lot of sense. - Ahunt (talk) 15:39, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

:::::I've just fixed that article's structure up a bit, hopefully that makes future changes easier. HarryKernow (talk) 07:56, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

::::::Ah, thanks for doing that, that needed doing regardless! - Ahunt (talk) 12:15, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

:::::Agree with merge into Airmanship. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:30, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

{{unindent}}Okay it has been a week since the last comment and I think we have a consensus here to merge this into Airmanship, so I will go ahead and do that. - Ahunt (talk) 20:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
