Hmmm...
What about "Propeller", "Circuit Breakers", "Landing Gear Selector", "Avionics Master", "Hydraulic Pressure", and "Fire Extinguisher" (for a few)?
Would it be better to use the aircraft specific checklist, which will be provided in the aircraft flight manual, which is required to be aboard?
It is my opinion, that memorizing a list of items which is not aircraft specific, to use in place of the appropriate checklist, is perhaps worse than not using the checklist at all.
Many aircraft have features which involve specific checklist items, Relying on a memory "crutch" in place of the proper checklist is just poor. I'm sure that we pilots would not be at all pleased to learn that the maintainers of our aircraft did not actually use the maintenance checklist provided for the specific aircraft type, but rather just did the inspection from memory from a "generic" aircraft type...We would scoff at them for that, just as they would scoff at us for not checking the landing gear selector down before turning on the master switch.
Rely on the checklist, that was what it was written for...
