In the old USAF, the rule was wind the clock.

On my first solo in the T-37 as I turned for the crosswind, sunlight hit the fire lights just right and both appeared to illuminate at the same time. My solution was simple. I looked the other way for a second before checking the EGTs and other engine indications. I later realized the likelihood of both engines being on fire at the same time was VERY remote and it was another lesson on what my instructor had said, "No fast hands in a jet cockpit."
