Look folks,

As Pilots we could spend all day analyzing every detail of the intended operation. We can make it so complex for ourselves that we lose sight of what we are actually trying to achieve and we will never get off the ground.

At the end of the day, in the time you have available to you before a flight (which is not much), you need to keep things simple and to the point. if you concentrate on the detail and forget the big picture, you can paint yourself into a corner.

I think of it as must haves, and nice to haves.

Concentrate on the must haves (safety of the flight) and use the resources at your disposal to organize the nice to haves.

Runway marking sounds like something a jaded ATO would ask you on a CPL flight text, or maybe a REX interview.

Fortunately the rest of the aviation world try to keep things in perspective.
