Chuck,

You mean strobes. The strobes can be highly visible during the day, then again they might not be depending on the background of the a/c from the viewer. My general thinking is why create so many decisions? I therefore switch the things on when lining up and switch them off after landing.

fireflybob,

High Wing Drifter - is checking of the white strobe lights in the Check A ?

Also, if the Check A has previously been signed for that day then, notwithstanding that it is good airmanship to do some sort of preflight walkround (a " transit" check) then why repeat what has already been done?
Firstly. Umm, yes. When do you suggest

Secondly, as I explained. I've lost count of the occasions I have arrived at the aircraft and found that the after landing or after shutdown checklist has not been followed through properly. Not a major problem (except maybe for the avionics) but does lead to wonder what else was not done properly. Do I need to brace myself for more critisism now?
