Description
-
"Effective machine operation requires patience, kindness, and diligence. Please note that nominal systems operation will fluctuate over time. Running regular diagnostics and monitoring feedback during normal operations, not just in times of crisis, provides a useful baseline and instills maintenance habits that will go a long way to prevent avoidable malfunction and breakage. Every machine has its own specific needs, and this diagnostic program is by no means comprehensive, but shoring up these common issues enables you to obtain clearer data on unique problem areas."
A game to be played (solo or with trusted friends) when you feel like garbage and don't know why.
[Please note that this primer is not written by a professional, but by a fellow pilot with experience wresting the controls of a spiraling machine, and should be followed accordingly.]
