FP, all good points.

Perhaps someone who operates the 350 in the GC can enlighten us as to wether this site is a no-shutdown site for some reason. I seem to remember a bit of a gotcha with the battery overheat drill with the 135 some time back...corrected in later years.

Of course sometimes people just do odd things routinely that in the cold light of day are obviously accidents waiting to happen. Once worked alongside a guy who did his 'A' Check after first flight each day just to get another 30 minutes in bed, he thought I was spoiling the show by doing as I had been taught. Sadly he's no longer around, but that was CFIT so not A Check related.
