I have owned my current plane for 4 years, it's parked up next to the house, and flown every day the weathers allows. I am very familiar with all it's equipment and systems from both flying it and self-maintaining, included assisted annuals. I transposed the POH checklist into an excel spreadsheet broken out into flight phases and laminated in a 2"x 5" sheet that hangs from the yoke clamp directly in front of me, I go thru each and every item on the checklist every time I fly.
The reason is I'm a forgetful bugger who suffers from many "CRAFT" moments, and I almost killed myself many years ago by skipping a checklist item taking off from airport on the list below called Catalina
