A fair and eye opening report to all in aviation.

Three pages of checklist to be completed in 2,500' whilst manipulating switches and providing support to the PF. Also some procedural steps of the stand alone Ditching Checklist missing, i.e. switching off nuisance warnings, i.e. GPWS.

Also, one would hope that there will be a similar change like that that occurred after the SWR 111 fire. If at any stage a Ditching or Forced landing is imminent go straight to the BOXED PRIORITY PROCEDURAL ITEMS, only resume the original checklist if time avails.
