Hola espenjoh -

Great check-list...
I guess, when all engines flame-out at 3,000 AGL, you got time for all that.
Do you press the FREEZE button too...?
And when ck-list completed, continue the descent...?

I do not criticize any CK-LIST... but circumstances at times, do not permit.
As an example, in 1978, a National 727-200 ditched at sea in Pensacola, FL.
Pitch dark night, pilots screwed-up their approach (VOR-DME).
They were 1,000 ft TOO LOW, hit the water at some 500 FPM...
No preparation, as approach appeared normal - some 50 SOB - 3 fatalities.

Happy contrails
