I'd rather just give him back control of the airplane and take care of all those things, thank you very much. Lest we get to the runway without TA/RA, or get to the stand with the weather radar still on.
No excuse in my book. They are so clever, they should be capable of learning a few simple flows. And reading a checklist is child's play.
If they can't do that then are they really competent to fly as LHS?
