I was beaten to it earlier by teeteringhead and our mutual friend Fred with his hairy ones

However, a word of warning, if I may be so bold, it's all well and good repeating what the checks are, but you must remember to DO them!

A few years ago in Der/Die/Das Farterland I was about to go off on a mission when, during the pre take offs, the handling pilot stated quite correctly (Gazelle), "Tq, Nc, T4, CWP".

This was all well and good, EXCEPT, that just before he pulled power, I mentioned to him that the torquemeter had failed and was failed at the time he gave the calls.

Lesson learnt!
