A luvly story Mr 'E',
I can see it now, hanging there....
When I first did my PA-24 endo, the guy teaching said to pull up the u/c telescopic handle EVERY time on Final, and it should reach just under the panel fascia - it did absolutely nothing other than to remind you to do 'something' on each and every final - then continue the PUF's etc
In later 210's we used always look and laugh to the pax "You got one? I got one - I hope you got one too".
Sounds 'trite' I know - but the amazing thing is - its worked for 45yrs or so...
Its just 'something' to do - and if you don't, then you soon think about what is it you've NOT done yet??
Yeah - I know 'trite'...
Cheers
