For my bugsmasher, to get it airborne:
Fuel on
Controls free
Flaps and trim set
Start engine, warm up, take off, have fun
For landing:
Flaps set
Carb heat if I think it is needed
After landing:
Switch everything off, drink beer
None of which is written on a checklist.
But for the big boys' toys, sorry CASA and company gurus, in the future you WILL use the manufacturer checklist.
These are not necessarily the ideal, but they are the only ones that will stand up at the subsequent court of enquiry.
