It amuses me that somehow this whole thread has diverted to checklist discussion.
It started as a comment that a certain person probably couldn't have done any
checks at all, judging by the expeditious nature of the witnessed departure, whether by list or by memory. The subject of lists came in later as a defensive tactic by those quick to jump on ScouseFlyer for starting the thread.
The bottom line is that any aircraft cannot be treated as a twist and go moped, even the simplest one, and anyone who does so is probably simpler than a very simple aircraft (as Blackadder might say
)
Would anyone like to have informed and educated debate based on a disagreement with that last statement ?
Schmacko, Hows life in the deep south mate ? I don't know about the screens, but will get our parts guy to find out, we look after three 303's these days including mine.
