It appears that in regions where flying is much more challenging and 'non-standard' that adherance to checklists in general seems to take a bit of a back seat. (Because here things are totally different anyway...)
While that might still be OK in some instances with regard to the flying itself (being compensated by specific experience) it will catch you out once the aircraft systems come into play. There is no 'seat of the pants' being able to replace detailed systems knowledge and adherance to checklists when it coems to equipment failures. Way to many interdependencies and less than obvious side effects.
Try applying common sense in a systems failure instead of sticking to the checklist and be fatally surprised by non- common sense compliant behaviour of the systems themselves.
