That aside, any aeroplane you fly every day will become second nature to you - the "twist and go moped" of bose's analogy. That aircraft could be a Cessna 152, Warrior, Pitts, Airbus A340, Tornado, whatever. Treat it with the utmost respect - yes. Carry out checks meticulously - yes. Be so comfortable with such routine procedures that they are done from memory and can easily be done while taxiing - yes. Have every second you can save safely while wasting time and fuel on the ground shaved off - yes. I'm not saying one should skimp on checks at all, just that when you do something very regularly you rapidly learn the most efficient way to do so. Just try asking around here who flies for a living, not just for pleasure.
