There are Lies, dammed lies, and statistics, to compare me in my single engine eighty year old vintage aircraft, and my previous occupation of {wait for it!} of flying a 767/300/ER is absurd to say the least, but the point that is trying to be made is simply that the slavish use of thirty page checklists in a S/E piston aircraft or light twin is in fact a large part of the problem, it simply becomes background noise to eventually be ignored, I read one recently the first line of which was, OPEN DOOR AND SIT IN SEAT! I kid you not, I find it interesting that those returning to light aircraft in retirement after a few decades on the heavy metal are the ones most opposed to this endless babble in the cockpit.
