During one of his CAAFU visits to Perth, Dennis Mobberley decided to have the Cessna 310 added to his type ratings. During the briefing for the 1179 he asked if I had any objection to him using his own checks rather than our school lists; I agreed that this would not be a problem as long as all essential items were completed.
During the first circuit I was intrigued by his mnemonic, which included “Hydraulic Pressure” and finished with “Oxygen Off and Guns to Safe”. At the debrief he explained that these same pre-landing checks had served him well on the Venom and he had used them ever since.
