Checklists -- a load of tosh

[Final 3 Greens]

QDM

Sense of humour lapse? I put the "winky smily" in front of the sentence to show it was tongue in cheek and not a serious comment.

You make a pretty dogmatic comment about not using a written checklist after engine failure in a single.

I wasn't advocating that if you re-read my post, but I would challenge your view in this particular context, as the quick reference to the six or seven vital steps on a checklist would have enabled an air start, which in my opinion would have been much safer than a forced landing, no matter how well executed.

However, the real point is that one needs to be able to apply the right procedures for the right aircraft. There are different ways of doing this as the other posters have illustrated.

My asnwer to your question remains, offical checklists are not tosh.
