Thank you. You have said what I have been trying to say for a long time.
I guess there are not many people from those days left, who still have an interest in GA.

I remember when I first flew a Kingair, the roller blind checklist used to stick, because the roller blind was far too long, and would not fit without jamming. Most of the items were not essential (it even included the coffee machine), and appeared to be there to protect people who were not in the aeroplane.
Pre landing checks could not be started before entering the circuit, and you often found yourself winding the checklist knob on short final, when you should be looking out the window. It finally got simplified, and things went much better.
Is this sort of thing contributing to some of the latest mishaps?
