Have you ever tried reading the pilots operating manual? Amazing the info written in them, including Check lists.

Hey, at least he's considering using a checklist...how many piscat *warriors don't bother? You're right, the POH will have it. And Don't even consider getting in the aeroplane without reading and being totally familiar with it.

I just read this Baron checklist. First, I don't know what a 55B is... perhaps they mean a 95-B55 ? My point; there's are many nuances and just mistakes in homemade checklists. Of course, the same is true of company / airline checklists. Look them over closely before using.

Another oddity; why do a briefing at the take off check, with both engines turning? I suggest a brief before starting, not on an active taxiway.

If a passenger safety brief is appropriate you can certanly do that before start up in a light twin. What you might be briefing or self briefing at the holding point is IFR clearance and updates to any relevant emergency procedures.

If you fly a light twin like a 55 Baron, there is no magic in the checklist. All light piston singles and twins can work off the same vital actions, pre take off, of: Today (trims trim trim, tighten throttle friction, temps) Most (Mixtures, Mags and Master) People (Pitches, Pressures, Primer) Find (Fuel Selector/Contents/Pumps/Pressure, Flaps, Fuses, Frequencies) Good (Gills, Gyros) Hotels (Hatches, Harnesses) In (Instruments) Every (Electrics) Country (Controls). Use your good sense for after take-off and before landing checks, no rocket science in that.

Do your run-up first, both engines together so you have a nice comparison and you don't twist your nose wheel tire off. Then your V/A's will ensure you put all that you have fiddles with back in the right place.

A Baron 55 is the nicest of the lot to fly so long as you don't need to carry 5 pax. Watch your C of G and do a accurate load sheet.

Fyi, 16 ins of manifold pressure (bottom of green arc), 2400 rpm = 120 tks straight and level, ideal for holding pattern, then drop your gear with same power and = 500 fpm descent, ideal for ILS. Play with your flaps thereafter depending on surface conditions and you wont have to touch the throttles until short final.

Happy Flying.

The one I used was;

Too Many Pilots Forget Good Habits Easily;

Trim, Tighten, Temp, Manifold, Mix, Mags, Master, Pitch, Pressure, Pitot, Fuel, Flap, Full and Free, Gills, Gyros, Hatches, Harnesses, Electrics and Instruments.

Worked for Be55, Be58, C401, PA23, Islander and Trislander and I used to sometimes fly several of these types in one day:ok::ok::ok:

Good man... works for me! Sounds like you learnt at FVCP? Either Peg or MFC? :D

Either way Len, do yourself a favour and read the little book that comes with the plane? The POH/POM? If your plane doesn't have one supplied... ask yourself WHY!
