There AIN'T no such thing! If you have an emergency, you're screwed
with that policy!

No! You're screwed when you DON'T follow pre-planned / pre-trained
procedures during an emergency.



You're screwed if the emergency lies outside your preplanned actions! If
you depend on rote learning while flying, you have no business in the
cockpit!

Checklists are fine, but are NOT the answer to everything! As I pointed
out earlier, having your nose buried in a checlist while in the traffic
pattern is not the smartest or safest use of your attention and eyesight.
