Centaurus
I reckon that list can be shortened even further;
1. Seats, Seat Belts, Shoulder Harness....Adjust and Lock.
And the optional for retracts
2. Undercarriage.....Confirm down and Locked.

Chimbu W
with the checklist as a final filter for the "gotcha" items.
PS: You could add the QF32 item from Mr Matt Hicks……Don't Crash!!
