Many people also do not use the check list, which encourges ill discipline in flying.
Couldn't agree more! I ALWAYS use checklist on all the a/c I fly.
Yet I have been ridiculed by fellow pilots that "I should know how to start it by now", pax asked "you using that - don't you know what you re doing?"
I know the R22/R44/206/etc is a bit simpler than a 747/757/A320/etc, but I wonder if those who question checklist use would challenge the pilots of these a/c?
