Check list?
It is not so much what check list you use but how you use it. Is it a check list or a "do list"?
I see a lot of student pilots start the engine, set 1200 RPM and then fumble for the check list, open it up and start reading. They then run carefully down the list.......................... the only problem is the oil px rising within 30sec limitation has long gone before the check list is opened!
So why not do the vital things like oil px & starter relay from memory and then pick up the list and check that you have covered the items as well as the nif-naf & trivia?
