This is obvious to most of us.
Here are just 5, of the many things that are vitally important, in attempting to get airborne.
F. Flaps.
A. Air-brakes
R. Correct Runway.
T. Trims set.
S. Speeds Bugged.
Regardless what is written on your company checklist, it only takes 30 seconds of farting around, to do this extra vital check. There are usually,no second chances. That extra 30 seconds of FARTS could save the day.
If we fly long enough and often enough, something vital will get missed during the DVA's
My 2 cents worth.
