Just as well there is clear guidance in the R44 POH about how to conduct the mag check - oh no....hang on.............
Nothing in the check list for selecting the switch to BOTH after the check and no pre-take-off checks either.
Someone "somehow" popped the clutch circuit breaker once after engine start which lead to an incident. Now there is an additional "circuit breakers in" check after engine start on the checklist. I suppose now we'll see an addional "mags to BOTH" added somewhere to the bottom?
The way things are going, we'll eventually end up with a mile long checklist and a ten minute pre-takeoff recitation to make up for insufficient training and/or inattentive/complacent pilots.
