Learning Checklists
Please could somebody tell me the answer.
During flying training, to what degree do checklists have to be memorized. I am preparing for a CPL course and am interested to know what standards the RAF expects.
I realise that emergencies EFATO/FIRE etc have to be memorized, but what about Cockit Preparation, Pre Start, Start, Taxi, Preflight and all the others?
If they do have to be learnt, does the check have to be remembered in full, for example, "Fuel Pressure.....Check fuel pressure between 0.5 and 8psi", or can it be abbreviated to, "Fuel Pressure.....check".
The advice I have received is that a check list can be referred to, but I am still interested to know the RAF viewpoint.
