many airlines and operators are doing away with memory items after finding that the critical items, which should be accomplished in a specific order, are subject to memory failures in high stress events. It is better to rely on a checklist to get all steps right and in order than to rely on memory of a procedure that has not been done except in the last sim check.
Remember [at least initial items of]:
EFATO
ED [O2 first-always!!!]
FIRE WARNING--all [411A and Old Smokey have both reccomended this one!]
smoke abatement
Windshear
GA and initial approach climb
every other non-normal /emergency can be run through at a more relaxed and thoughtful pace
one second point is that--- before taxi [brakes--flight controls --free and correct]---before takeoff [lights, camera action and BelArg's 3 killers] and pre-ldg check GUMP
should be really simple and not susceptible to a single point of failure---but decent and climb should be do and verify and should be correalated with other procedure and or operational cues such after reaching acceleration altitude or reaching 10000' [ this may prevent critcal items from being missed such as someone already mentioned---the B-737 cabin pressurization procedure---
but SOPs/procedures and checklist never replace airmanship and discipline!
