777....just tossing this out there. I don't believe in written checklists. Not talking airline jets here. Oh, if something is amiss, by all means, pull out the checklist! I find, pilots miss things if they don't READ it! A simple interruption can derail ones train of thought. I don't need a checklist to drive my pickup truck....and you shouldn't NEED a checklist to put the gear down in an aircraft. Again, you're preaching excuses. There is NO excuse in my book for this. These turkeys should be flipping burgers.
