A technique that I used on a charter flight in an Aztec (I wouldn't have done
this had I not known the passengers):

	Passengers and baggage loaded into a Piper Aztec, my copilot and I
	climb into the front seats.  We fasten up and instruct the passengers
	as required by the Regs.  As I scan the panel I say to the copilot,
	"Jim, hand me the airplane manual out of the glove compartment there,
	and let's see if we can figure out how to start this thing."
