As far as static I spot meter on my subject and play around a bit. I'll take several frames +/- on the exposure and see which one I can balance the best in post. Don't be afraid to do another exposure layer specifically for either the sky or your subject.

In the air, it's spot meter, 9 point AF, shutter speed priority and let 'er rip. If I find my shutter speed is too low/high for the light I'll +/- 1/3 EV. I check after every string or two to see if I need to adjust EV or shutter.

The lights you see on the buttress are from arfcom member RTUtah and me. We got off to a late start in the Linville Gorge, and knew we'd be finishing up by headlamp.

This is a composite from a time lapse taken with Hero5B on an external battery, and it was sitting with all the batteries, something I realized only when I went to change out the battery in my Hero6 before setting out for the climb. With a dead battery in the 6, the only photos we have are from across the amphitheater. Since we were already losing light as it was, I wasn't going lose any more time to traverse all the way over to get the extra batteries.

It's not a great photo, but I'm glad I was able to salvage something.

Wow, for first time photographing aircraft, you set yourself a bit of a challenge

Balancing your shutter speed between capturing clarity vs showing a bit of prop blur is going to be your hardest part, but it looks like you're off to a great start! Just find a compromise you're happy with (or able to get some decent keepers) and run with it.

Check out my new Nikon!!

This thing is awesome. Distance (horizontal and slope), slope angle, and height. Built in electronic clinometer as well. No more pulling a fucking baseline with the logger's tape to get heights with the clinometer.

Battery is supposed to be good for 13,000 activations of the laser.
