Mags at engine start / Checklists
Some reassurance required - just reviewing my checklists for flying the supercub PA18 - is it worth flying anything else ! - for engine start it is an easy flow from right to left ending with starting the engine on LEFT MAG only - immediately after start I switch MAGS TO BOTH.
After start do a DEADCUT check as well.
I think I learnt this at a US flightschool which had 4 supercubs - I think it to check that an engine will fire with only one set of plugs by starting on left only.
Is this a good procedure ?
and then I can use on all aircraft surely.
Re CHECKLISTS - both the written and memory checklists can be improved oneself - does everyone else find that invariably that flightschool/manufacturers checklists can be improved by just sitting in the aircraft and taking every item in correct order a,thinking the flight through and arranging into a sensible flowlist.
thanks
