You must have learned at the same school as me! That Huey checklist has worked for me in every chopper I have flown since then, even a single-pilot S76.
Sure, use the checklist until you have proven that you have it skun. Your instructor will confirm you haven't missed anything. ("Try tickling Mary's poor f***y because she is having ....".oh, that Winjeel checklist!)
A flow check, a learned Vital Actions list, and an available emergency checklist seem to do a good job.
But it still hasn't stopped me from starting a 206 with the blade tied down or with the fuel valve off - interrupted checks can be very embarassing.
