Winnie,

If you mean the departure/en-route/approach/downwind checks that we're taught over here, they are:

F - Fuel: Still on? Still got some? Any leaks? Still got _enough_?
R - Radio: Still on? Right Frequency? Need to make a call? Transponder transponding and is it the right number?
E - Engine: Still running? ( ) T's and P's in the green?
D - DI/Direction: DI (if you've got one) aligned with Compass (hopefully, you've got one of them)? Flying parallel with duty runway (in the circuit)? Going in the right direction (on a navex)?
A - Altitude: Altimeter set? Still reasonably clear of the green/brown/wet bits? At circuit height/cruise altitude/cleared altitude/MSA?

If you mean is FREDA the buxom blonde miniskirted lass that needs checking out, that headsethair could be referring to, I don't know, I've never met her.
