Chicken - I'm not going to repeat what's been said. No-one mandates I use a checklist in an L4 Cub, a Chipmunk, or even a Yak52 (quite a complex aeroplane). So what are you on about?

- the UK CAA do!!!
That's what he's on about!!!
That's only for check flights, a tiny percentage of my flights, and post dates my operational flying flying anyway (and is indicative of the sort of 'official thinking' [that every PPL is a part-finished airline pilot - what tosh!] that led me to stop flying a while ago, after several very enjoyable decades).
My point stands! That the official mind now mandates checklists in check flights on simple aeroplanes says a lot about the trend of the official mind.
And where do today's 'non airline fodder' find a dHC1 checklist anyway? There are RAF pilot's notes of dubious worth, and ditto few 'home brewed' flying school Chippy checklists. Nothing from deHavilland Canada that I'm aware of. Never seen a manufacturer's POH, either.
