Maxred I take your point, never flown a 310 so no idea but starting an m14 p? Hell one could fire up an aeio 580, fly several unlimited sequnces and land before the 14 even had the oil in the right place to attempt a start.
My point really is that with a logical and sensible approach you can make and use your own check list for the vast majority of simple sep's. yaks and sukhois excluded!
The danger with memorised checks of course is that you won't remember you forgot a check. !!
But this is something that can be decided with experience and the op can make his own mind up in due course. For now, he should do as instructed!
