If takeoff flaps are delayed due icing/not all engines running due congestion/perf data still missing, what provisions do you make to ensure that the checklist is not forgotten?Brief it(oral reminder)?Or does it need a visual reminder(checklist partiallly withdrawn from its jacket)?Do you think either work?
Our company...as the very last item on the before takeoff checklist.
Configuration check.
Flaps/slats
Stab trim
Speedbrake lever
Compasses compared and agree with the runway heading.
Having been originally trained at PanAmerican very long ago, that's the way they did it, and I do the same...
always.
Better safe than sorry.
Give it a try....you might find my suggestion useful.
