I have to admit I am not a fan of ''flows''. I prefer a "do list" with checks.

It might take a bit longer, but you are more likely (if doing it properly) to have all the switches etc inthe right place. (correct place ;-))

I've seen people do ''flows'' so fast that the relays can't keep up and mx gets called.

Slow and steady wins the race...esp when at the gate.

I've done lots of night instrument mountainous area departures...and having that flashlight in my pocket, to be placed in my mouth if needed to aim at critical instruments was the way to go.

I do offer this...while instructing in GenAv 30 years ago (airline now) i noticed some students couldn't get "INTO" the simulation...it wasn't real...and they sat there and did nothing.

I asked them why and they just couldn't. It was like: my instructor is trying to fool me, it isn't really happening.

I do favor rote...over and over until if you sneeze the right checklists come out.

I do think we will see MORE and not LESS bizjet crashes in the years ahead.
