Grrr

razzele. . . . ref TSF, if they cut the grass more often, you would see that the last item is "canopy" which would suggest it was more for the benefit of the Italian Air Force hot shots rather than Ryanair. Very tempted to put a sticker over it with "cabin secure", but of course I have the no-smoking(ex) sign for that . . . duh. Our checklist says to perform selection and verify flaps as part of after-start checklist, and then to challenge check and respond as part of before take-off checklist, but even that is not able to save some guys, shades of unpressurised take-offs here. You can write multiple check-lists, memonics, and any other procedure you like, but someone will always find a way to foul up, and only situational awareness,the config warning, luck, or the previous poster's "3 killers" personal check-list will save their asses. Ryanair, and many other carriers I am sure , need to ask why these things happen, rather than believing/hoping /pretending , that another procedure/FCI/checklist will stop it happening.
